Diabetic Daddy School/Nursery Checklist

🏫 Diabetes School & Nursery Checklist — Diabetic Daddy

Help your child start school, nursery or a new term feeling prepared, organised and supported.

Managing Type 1 diabetes at school or nursery can feel daunting for both parents and staff.

There are supplies to organise, staff who need to understand your child's diabetes, emergency situations to plan for and everyday routines that need to work alongside education and play.

The Diabetic Daddy School & Nursery Checklist gives parents and carers a practical way to make sure the important things have been discussed, documented and prepared before your child walks through the school gates.

📋 What's inside?

✔️ Pre-school/nursery preparation checklist

❤️ More than a checklist

The aim isn't to make school life complicated — it's to make diabetes planning simpler.

Use the pack before a new school year, when starting nursery, after changing schools or whenever your child's diabetes management changes.

Because your child should be able to learn, play, make friends and be a kid — while the adults around them know how to support their diabetes.
