Each day we provide a nutritious and varied snack menu for the children. We encourage healthy eating. This helps to develop their taste buds and social skills involving food.
All our snacks are prepared on site in our 5 rated kitchen. We use only ingredients of the highest quality and make every effort to ensure low sodium and low sugar content.
We adhere to specific dietary requirements.
Our snacks are planned in accordance with nutrition matters for the Early Years.
The Children get a breakfast type snack during school closures and a snack each afternoon. They must bring a packed lunch during school closures.
