page_title: Guidance Actions for early years and childcare providers during the coronavirus outbreak
section_headers: Considerations for settings that are open during this period
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:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This answer is about important information that parents or carer should provide to setting regarding their children. It does not provide any information on what happens during the coronavirus test.
This is about sending information to a parent, not COVID testing.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): getting tested
section_headers: The testing process
section_content: The test involves taking a swab of the nose and the back of the throat, which
can be done by the person themselves (self-administered) or by someone else
(assisted).
The different ways you can get tested are covered below.
Regional testing sites
We are establishing a network of drive-through regional testing sites.
Watch a video explaining the process for drive-through testing:
Coronavirus tests for essential workers
Home testing
Home test kits can be delivered to someone’s door so they can test themselves
and their family without leaving the house. Home test kit availability will be
initially limited, but more will become available.
If you have been delivered a home testing kit or have been given a self-test
kit at a regional test site, here is a tutorial video that supports the
written instructions in your pack, from Dr Amir Khan:
How to take a coronavirus self-test

Mobile testing units
Mobile testing units travel around the UK to increase access to coronavirus
testing. They respond to need, travelling to test essential workers at sites
including care homes, police stations and prisons.
New units are being brought into operation each day.
Satellite centres
NHS capability is being increased by providing test kits directly to
‘satellite’ centres at places like hospitals that have a particularly urgent
or significant need.
NHS facilities
Testing within an NHS facility such as a hospital is available for patients
and some NHS workers.
Across all these testing methods, there is a network of couriers who collect
the completed samples and deliver them safely to one of our laboratories. The
swab samples are analysed at our labs and the result is communicated back to
the individual.
We aim to return test results within 48 hours of a swab being taken, or within
72 hours for a home test.
