My food policy:
Meals and Snacks
I provide a healthy diet of mainly home-made food, which is, as far as possible, sourced locally. I can provide all meals for your child if you wish. Examples include, but are not limited to, the following. Some lunch or dinner dishes are batch made and then frozen in order to provide convenient meals without resorting to convenience food.
Breakfast: Weetabix, shredded wheat, cornflakes, porridge or readybrek in the winter. All with banana, sultanas or soft fruit in season.
Snacks: Fresh or dried fruit, rice cakes, breadsticks, crackers, cheese, raw vegetable sticks, plain biscuits or home baking such as pancakes, scones, fairy cakes. Please note that snacks provided at Toddlers or playgroup may include juice or chocolate biscuits in addition to the above. If you specify that you only wish your child to have water or milk, I will do my very best to make sure that is what he has, but occasionally he might get hold of someone else?s cup!
Lunch: Often soup, sandwiches or pitta breads, but also smaller portions of shepherds? pie, pasta, rice dishes. Fresh fruit or yoghurt.
Tea: Largely ?meat and two veg? type dishes, casserole, pasta, macaroni or cauliflower cheese, chicken dishes. Puddings include yoghurt, fruit, steamed puddings, rice pudding, home-made ice lollies or ice-cream.
Drinks: Milk or water only for under-twos, or diluted fresh fruit juice for older children.
If you prefer to provide packed lunches and snack for your child, that is fine, but please adhere to the following.
No sweets, chocolate or chocolate biscuits.
No crisps.
No fizzy drinks or juices other than fresh fruit juice.
Birthdays and other parties warrant exceptions to these rules!
