Keep and update records to meet a child’s needs no matter who is on duty, nursery assistants keep detailed logs of each child in their care. Information in these logs may include a child’s nursery attendance, temperament, food allergies, nappy changes, and any special accommodations the child requires. As new children join their facility, they keep track of allergies or dietary concerns.
