I had intended for DS who is starting reception in september to have school dinners but have no idea what they actually have on the school menu's and can't seem to find out anyway so thought Id get him a lunch box for the first week or so to get him used to the whole eating at school thing and then change to school dinners after a bit!
Was just wondering how healthy lunchboxes have to be?? Was thinking of:-
Mini wholemeal roll or sandwich with either cheese/ham/turkey/dairylea etc
Babybel or couple of mini sausages
Some cuecumber/cherry tomatoes
Grapes or strawberries or Apple
Small bottle of water or Tropicana Go (which is fruit juice & water)-I assume cartons of fresh juice are a bad idea cause will go everywhere if not all drunk!!
And now the "unhealthy" bit-was thinking of a couple of biscuits...by that I mean like 2 custard creams or rich tea etc or a few crisps. DS not a big yoghurt eater and if he does eat it he usually has a fruit corner or something which is far too big for a lunch box so thought a biscuit might be nice to have. Am I seriously going to be shot by the school food police if I put them in or is something "nice" allowed as well??
Can you tell Ive not done this before lol!!
