At Panda we use an App called Studybugs that makes it quick and easy to report your child’s absence due to illness.
By using this simple App on your phone or the Studybugs website – you can quickly send us a message letting us know that your child is ill and won’t be attending Panda:
- It is run by the NHS and as you type in your child’s illness it guides you with official guidance from Public Health England, based on the symptoms or illnesses you enter.
- It’s a quick and easy way for your to report absence and let us know sooner that your child will not be attending nursery
- It is a much more efficient way for us to manage absence reporting
- It is helping the NHS and other public health organisations improve children’s health by collecting anonymous data on illnesses going around — to help schools, parents and public health organisations take preventative action as early as possible
