Food & Drink

At Explorers pre-school, we provide healthy snacks, once during the morning session and once during the afternoon session. The snack on offer ranges from at least two fruits and / or vegetables, followed by a breadstick or two small rice cakes.

Children are offered milk at these times, or they can choose to have their water bottle, which is provided and brought in from home for each session they attend. The children can access their water bottles independently throughout the course of their session.

At lunchtimes, children bring a packed lunch from home, which we encourage to be healthy and nutritious. As part of our welcome pack, we provide suggestions for packed lunches. Children can bring an additional bottle of squash / juice, which they can have as part of this mealtime.

We are happy to accommodate any dietary needs that your child has, please do discuss with us. Please note we do not allow any form of nuts in our setting.

Furthermore, the children have opportunity during their time at Explorers to be involved with cooking activities and experiencing and tasting a range of food and drink from different cultures, while celebrating festivals.
