What happens if someone becomes unwell at an educational or childcare setting?
section_content: If anyone in an education or childcare 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 (anosmia), they must be sent home and advised
to follow the COVID-19: guidance for households with possible coronavirus
infection guidance.
If a child is awaiting collection, they should be moved, if possible, to a
room where they can be isolated behind a closed door, depending on the age of
the child and with appropriate adult supervision if required. 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 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 (and in which case, a test is
available) or the child subsequently tests positive (see ‘What happens if
there is a confirmed case of coronavirus in a setting?’ below). 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. See the COVID-19: cleaning of non-healthcare settings
guidance.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response states what should be done the moment a child is found to have symptoms and how to process them until they are picked up from the setting. It also includes a couple of useful links for further information.
This answer provides guidance on what to do if a person, and in this case the child, becomes ill while in a childcare setting.

What needs to happen if a child is attending a different setting than usual?
section_content: Important information should be provided by the parent or carer to the setting
on day one, including emergency contact details, dietary requirements and
medical needs to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the child.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer gives general guidelines on what information a setting should request to start with. It does not pertain to COVID or new COVID regulations at all.
This answer talks about the importance of keeping records with up to date information.

page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): implementing protective measures in education and childcare settings
section_headers: Additional questions
What happens if there is a confirmed case of coronavirus in a setting?
section_content: When a child, young person or staff member develops symptoms compatible with
coronavirus, they should be sent home and advised to self-isolate for 7 days.
Their fellow household members should self-isolate for 14 days. All staff and
students who are attending an education or childcare setting will have access
to a test if they display symptoms of coronavirus, and are encouraged to get
tested in this scenario.
Where the child, young person or staff member tests negative, they can return
to their setting and the fellow household members can end their self-
isolation.
Where the child, young person or staff member tests positive, the rest of
their class or group within their childcare or education setting should be
sent home and advised to self-isolate for 14 days. The other household members
of that wider class or group do not need to self-isolate unless the child,
young person or staff member they live with in that group subsequently
develops symptoms.
As part of the national test and trace programme, if other cases are detected
within the cohort or in the wider setting, Public Health England’s local
health protection teams will conduct a rapid investigation and will advise
schools and other settings on the most appropriate action to take. In some
cases a larger number of other children, young people may be asked to self-
isolate at home as a precautionary measure – perhaps the whole class, site or
year group. Where settings are observing guidance on infection prevention and
control, which will reduce risk of transmission, closure of the whole setting
will not generally be necessary.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This clearly states in great detail exactly what the childminder should do if one of their children end up contracting COVID. It also states what the child's family and care worker should do as well.
This gives much detail on what to do if someone, and in this case the child, should become ill in a care setting.
