You will have nut products on site at all times.
She will most likely question you as to what and why... tell her you can't give any info other than you must follow the Doctors order for this child.
Get a note from your diabetes doc stating nut products are to used to manage your kids diabetes.
I wouldn't blatantly lie to a parent - not only is it unprofessional and unethical, there's too big a chance it could blow up in your face.

If you decide not to take her, use ANY other reason to decline just not the peanut allergy.
Unless you have menus or other things stating you serve peanuts...then you could possibly use that as a reason.
ITA. Tell the mom that the child is not a good fit for your program after all. Don't give a reason beyond "not a good fit." And since you're not willing to accommodate her peanut allergy she isn't a good fit, so it's true.
