Mealtimes
Many
of the children stay to have lunch with us. Every meal is freshly
prepared on the premises and we cater for all dietary needs,
as well as
for children who are vegetarian. We are very conscious of all the
latest views and news as regards to healthy eating and incorporate
this into our food policy.
A mid-morning snack is also offered to all the children. We have what is called a rolling snack time in which the children come to the snack table in small groups whilst play continues. There is always an adult sitting at the table with the children to oversee what goes on and to chat and encourage the children with their choices. The children have a choice of milk or water to drink as well as a plate of fruit which is shared amongst them. After they have finished their snack the children put their names on a board and go off to play again. This all helps to make snack time a happy and sociable part of the day.
For the children who stay with us in the afternoon, we offer tea at 4 o'clock, this is a light meal which usually consists of a selection of fruit, cheese, bread and butter, scotch pancakes, crumpets etc. Again the children have a choice of what they want to drink and everyone sits together with the staff. We try to encourage and promote good manners all of the time.
For the babies in our care we are very happy to cater for individual needs. Most of the babies start having the nursery meals when weaning is well established.
