PARENTS' CORNER
Our healthy eating policy
We have a strict healthy eating policy, this coinsides with policies from local schools later helping your child with the transition between playschool and big school. As we have smaller numbers and more intimate setting we have the time to spend encouraging and entising children in our playschool we recomend you supply a healthy lunch daily and we will provide encouragement for each child to taste and try each thing daily, this may seem pointless for the first while as it may appear children are bring lunches home but eventually children will learn what school lunches are all about and the praise healthy eating will bring.
This means no fizzy drinks, chewing gum, crisps, popcorn (healthy choice but chokeing hazard) chocolate, biscuits, chocolate balls in yogurts, chocolate spread, sweets etc....
Instead we recomend a sandwich/wrap/bap/bundy with ham/cheese/tuna/salad/peanut butter/jam a piece of fruit or two, some veggies cut into sticks rather than disks and maybe a dip honey/peanutbutter/hummus/sour cream and onion/salsa. pasta/fruit salad.
Remeber Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, set your child up for a busy day daily.
