All our childcares (we use three between both kids) put a notice on the front doors - or the door to the baby room. So you may not have noticed it posted there if they had put it up, sometimes it can be hard to see from all the other papers posted up on the doors.

I think illness is pretty common with all the kids - soon enough they develop an immunity to most things going around - but yeah, a couple of days off a month isn't uncommon!!!!!!

DS rarely gets sick anymore (he has been going since he was 10 months) and DD hasn't got anything - yet - I'm still waiting!!!!
