We encourage you to stay with your child, and all our hospitals offer accommodation and facilities for you to do this. If you are unable to stay, this is not a problem, our dedicated team of nurses will be fully aware of your child’s needs, so you can have complete peace of mind.

It is a good idea to visit the hospital with your child in advance. This will help you to prepare for the stay, and also means the hospital will be a familiar place for your child.

It is always a good idea to allow your child to help pack their case. Please pack;

• Nightwear, dressing gown and slippers

• Toiletries

• Day clothes

• Shoes (if staying more than three days)

• Favourite teddy bear, activity toys or comfort blanket (no matter what the condition)

• Cup, feeder, bottle or cutlery

• Any medication your child is taking, and hand it to the nurse in charge on arrival

• If you are staying with your child, bring your own nightwear and toiletries

Most Taj Hospitals have satellite TV and a selection of books, games and videos for entertainment, but if your child prefers, they can bring their own.

Taj Hospitals offer a specifically tailored information leaflet for parents of children coming into hospital, and a storybook for your child. Please contact us to obtain copies.
