Food & Milk
Food
Young children can often have strong preferences for one type of food or another, and may show signs of allergy towards certain foods.
To ensure that food meets the requirements of the maximum number of children and that it is of the highest quality the following procedures will be followed:
- All food will be checked at the time of use to ensure that it is not past its use by
(or best before) date. - A similar alternative to the main meal will be provided for children who are not permitted to eat meat made from soya or quorn or vegetables.
- No food with nuts or traces of nuts will be used.
- Any other specific dietary requirements are a matter for agreement between the nursery and the parents.
Milk
The Welfare Food Scheme enables children under five to receive free of charge 189 ml of milk for each day they attend approved day care facilities for two hours or more.
This nursery has applied for and received approval to participate in the scheme in order that children in our care may benefit from it.
