Food and Drink
SNACK BAR:
- We offer a rolling snack bar. This allows our children to participate in snack times when they feel ready to and encourages independence.
- Children independently wash their hands before sitting down.
- We have a daily menu where children can choose what they would like to eat. This includes oranges, bananas, yoghurts, multigrain cereal and milk, apples, breadsticks, making a sandwich, and other seasonal vegetables.
- Children pour their own milk and water, peel their own fruit.
- When eating, children are sat down and supervised at all times.
LUNCH:
- Children and teachers alike both sit down to eat together in our lunch room.
- Children independently wash their hands before sitting down.
- We encourage a healthy packed lunch and can provide families with advice and ideas.
- During lunchtime children engage in social conversations, develop self help skills such as serving and feeding themselves, and by learning how to pour their own drinks and throw away their rubbish.
