What happens in your child Visits the Nurse at School

4. Your child has a calm, brief chat with the nurse.
5. Your child returns to class for the next activity.

How the first page could read

After morning register, a quiet message reaches your child's classroom. The school nurse would like a little chat. Your child puts down their pencil, tells their teacher, and walks along the bright corridor. There is time to notice the display of painted leaves before the nurse opens the door with a smile.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This story places a health-related moment inside a normal school day, rather than making it the whole event. Your child leaves a familiar classroom, meets a calm adult in a recognisable room and returns to the lesson, so the beginning, middle and end are easy to follow. For children aged 5–8, the plot gives space for small, everyday observations: a corridor display, a waiting chair and a teacher saving a place. The 32-page book has 15 illustrated story spreads starring the child from their photo, with wording that grows with their age. Parents can choose little details that make the school setting feel familiar, while the story stays practical and gentle.

Reading it together

• Read the story before a school day, pausing to ask your child what they notice in the classroom and corridor scenes.
• Use the return-to-class page to talk about a favourite lesson or activity that can carry on after a short interruption.
• Let your child choose a small detail to look for on each reread, such as the classroom display or waiting-room chair.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Soft watercolour gives the classroom, corridor and nurse’s room a familiar, calm everyday feel. A sidekick idea: a tiny knitted worry worm in your child's pocket. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
