Ward visiting hours: Open visiting for parents between 14.00 - 20.00. Other visitors: Seek advice from nurse in charge. The number of visitors allowed is at the discretion of the nurse in charge.

How to prepare / you might like to bring:

• Cool comfortable day clothes
• Nightwear, dressing gown and slippers
• Noiletries
• Favourite toy and/or comforter (e.g. dummy/blanket)
• Nappies, as our supply is limited
• Regular medication. Please bring any medication that has been prescribed for your child and give it to your child’s nurse. These will be given back to you when it is time to go home
• Something for you to do. We have plenty to occupy the children on the wards

Teaching: If your child is going to be on the ward for long, the key teacher will link with your child's normal school and plan individual work for them. Provision can be made for children to sit all national exams on the ward if needed. School is held on the ward Mon-Fri every morning in term time and there are four teachers every day.
