Food and Drink Policy
We aim to promote a healthy lifestyle in our setting by helping children to understand their need for food and drink. We try and achieve this by providing:
· a wide variety of healthy snacks
· a free snack table where children can access a healthy snack themselves
· fresh drinking water at all times
· milk at snack time
· opportunities such as role-play to discuss different kinds of foods
· opportunities to be involved in the preparation of the snack like making smoothies or dips
We work in partnership with parents to ensure children’s medical, cultural and dietary needs will be met. Ducklings welcome any suggestions from children or parents on a healthy snack choice.
At least one member of staff will have an up to date food hygiene certificate.
