Snack Time at Nursery
Every child is offered a carton of milk every day. Children who attend for the full day will be given milk in the morning and water to accompany snack during the afternoon.
All children have access to water at all times during the session.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework sets the standards that early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn, develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It states:
'Where children are provided with meals, snacks and drinks, these must be healthy, balanced and nutritous.'
Every session, a snack will be provided. Typically this is a choice of fruit or vegetables. There are occasions where snack may differ to offer the children a new experience. We always check allergies and intolerances that parents/carers have shared with us beforehand and follow cultural needs of individual children.
