Lunch & Snack Times
Please provide snacks for children attending part sessions, and lunch for children attending morning and full day sessions, and a drink bottle filled with water for your child to drink during the day. Please take your child’s lunchbox home at the end of each day.
• Preferably no food packaging (wrappers) of any kind, please. Some lunch boxes with compartments so you don’t need to wrap food.
• Uneaten food will be returned to lunch boxes so parents can see what was eaten.
• All food requiring refrigeration should be named and placed in the food tray to go into the fridge in the main kitchen.
• If you require staff to heat food, please have it prepared and in the correct container so it can be placed directly into a microwave for warming.
• Water is available. Named drink bottles brought to preschool should be placed on the drink shelf and taken home at the end of the day.
• No chocolate or lollies please.
• We are a nut free centre. Please check packaging before sending food in your child’s lunchbox.
• We will provide cutlery if children require utensils to eat with, eg. spoons for yoghurt etc.
• Please ensure anything that needs cutting or peeling (if your child is unable to do it themselves) is done before packing it in your child’s lunch box. Bananas are fine for staff to assist with.
• The children will sit down together for their meals.
• We are happy for you to have separate containers for morning and afternoon tea if you are concerned your child may want to eat all their food in one sitting. Remember children get hungry when they are so active, so please ensure you pack plenty of food.
