totally agree with all pp's. Our kindy is nut free, being vegetarian it can be a pain but it's just the way things are, they are banned for a good reason and that's that. I don't think we even have any nut free kids there.

DD has a severe intolerance which can be tricky - it causes a paralysed intestine sort of thing so any consumption has bad effects, but too much or repeated small amounts causes her to not grow! I've found it hard to get people to take it seriously because after all it's not an allergy and people hear intolerance and they thing neurotic mother. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for parents to deal with a real allergy and not be taken seriously.
