For the purpose of Sunday Priesthood and auxiliary meetings attendance, those who are unable to attend because of another Church assignment, in this case brethren in the nursery, are recorded as attending these meetings. For more details have your Priesthood leadership consult the
Church Handbook of Instruction, Book 1, p 143-144.

If memory serves me correctly and you are using the forms printed out from MLS. There is a statement at the top of each of the relevant attendence forms explaining the the action to be taken.

That's a good point. Each Melchizedek Priesthood attendance roll says at the top:
Those who are unable to attend priesthood meeting because of a Church assignment are to be recorded as attending (including full-time missionaries from the ward or branch).
