Question: What steps should I take for a child exhibiting COVID symptoms in a non-residential setting?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Safe working in education, childcare and children’s social care settings, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)
section_headers: In non-residential settings, what should be done if a child, young person or other learner becomes unwell with symptoms of coronavirus and needs to be cared for until they can return home?
section_content: If anyone in an education, childcare or non-residential children social care
setting becomes unwell with a new, continuous cough or a high temperature, or
has a loss of, or change in, their normal sense of taste of smell, they must
be sent home and advised to follow the guidance for households with possible
coronavirus
infection.
If a child is awaiting collection, they should be moved, if possible, to a
room where they can be isolated behind a closed door, with appropriate adult
supervision if required depending on the age of the child. Ideally, a window
should be opened for ventilation. If it is not possible to isolate them, move
them to an area which is at least 2 metres away from other people.
If they need to go to the bathroom while waiting to be collected, they should
use a separate bathroom if possible. The bathroom should be cleaned and
disinfected using standard cleaning products before being used by anyone else.
PPE should be worn by staff caring for the child while they await collection
if direct personal care is needed and a distance of 2 metres cannot be
maintained (such as for a very young child or a child with complex needs).
In an emergency, call 999 if they are seriously ill or injured or their life
is at risk. Do not visit the GP, pharmacy, urgent care centre or a hospital.
If a member of staff has helped someone with symptoms they do not need to go
home unless they develop symptoms themselves. They should wash their hands
thoroughly for 20 seconds after any contact with someone who is unwell.
Cleaning the affected area with normal household disinfectant after someone
with symptoms has left will reduce the risk of passing the infection on to
other people. Read guidance about cleaning non-healthcare
settings.

coronavirus like any other domestic household. However, it is important that
soft toys are not shared between children.
Where a child in a residential setting develops symptoms of coronavirus:

staff can continue to enter and leave the home as required, consistent staff rotas should be used where possible and staff should follow good infection prevention control
the isolation guidance for residential settings should be followed
staff should wear PPE for activities requiring close contact
staff should adhere to social distancing guidelines as far as they are able to, but should take account of children’s emotional needs

Although this talks of steps to take in a residential setting, the context of the question is of a non-residential setting.
This covid-19 information is intended for residential settings and the question is asking for covid-19 guidance in a non-residential setting.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Guidance for households with grandparents, parents and children living together where someone is at increased risk or has symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
section_headers: Advice for the children in the household
section_content: This guidance applies to children of all ages.
Keep following the Stay at home guidance for households with possible
coronavirus to the best of your ability, however, we are aware that
not all these measures will be possible.
What we have seen so far is that children with coronavirus appear to be less
severely affected. It is nevertheless important to do your best to follow this
guidance.
Children who are part of a household that is following guidance on staying at
home due to possible coronavirus should take exercise within their home.
Children who are part of a household that is following guidance on staying at
home due to possible coronavirus should not be attending school or any
childcare settings even if they are children of key workers.
Children should also be encouraged to follow good hygiene – frequent
handwashing with soap and water and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth
with unwashed hands.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not address what a person can do for children in a non-residential setting that is exhibiting COVID symptoms.
This does not answer the question. This information is Covid-19 guidance for children in household with possible covid-19 infection. It does not contain any information on what to do when a child exhibit covid-19 symptoms in non-residential setting as asked in the question.
