We believe that each child in our care develops sensible eating habits as part of their nutritional education. Food should also be an enjoyable experience for children so that they continue to enjoy trying and tasty new and healthy foods.

Where possible your child's food should:

• Be freshly prepared and eaten on the same day.
• Contain only necessary safe preservatives.
• Not contain unnecessary chemicals and additives.
• Consist of full fat dairy products.
• Should have one items from each of the food pyramid groups.

For morning and afternoon snacks we suggest that parents pack a mixture of the following:

• yoghurt
• cheese
• milk
• crackers
• bread
• sandwiches
• fruit
• vegetables
• smoothies

Our healthy eating policy means that the following are not allowed to be sent in at snack times:

• chocolate
