Healthy Eating At Explorers Pre-School
At Explorers Pre-school, we encourage children to develop healthy eating habits and enjoy a varied, balanced diet.
During both our morning and afternoon sessions, children are offered a healthy snack. This includes a choice of at least two types of fruit and/or vegetables...
Milk is offered at these times, and children can also enjoy water from their own bottle, which they bring from home for each session. We encourage independence by ensuring children have access to their water bottle throughout the day, allowing them to drink whenever they need to. Children's water bottles will be refilled when empty with water by a staff member.
At lunchtime, children bring a packed lunch from home, and we encourage families to provide healthy and nutritious selection of foods. To helps with this, our welcome pack includes helpful suggestions and ideas for balanced packed lunches.
We understand that every child is different and are happy to discuss and accommodate individual dietary requirements wherever possible. Please speak to a member of out team if your child has any specific dietary needs or allergies. For the safety of all children, Explorers Pre-school operates a strict no-nuts policy.
We believe that food provides wonderful opportunities for learning and exploration. Throughout their time at Explorers, children are invited to take part in a variety of cooking activities, discover new ingredients and explore different foods from a range of different cultures. These experiences often link to the festivals and celebrations we enjoy together, helping children to develop curiosity, broaden their tastes and appreciate the diversity of food from around the world.
