Snack Time
Snacks Healthy, balanced snacks (including milk and water) are available for the children to have throughout the session. We encourage children to try different foods. The children are encouraged to get their own snack, sit down to eat and drink with their peers and then wash up their dishes and beakers.
Why are snacks important for a child?
Snacking is important for children because their smaller stomachs fill up fast and they burn energy quickly. Between meals, snacks give their growing bodies the nutrients and hydration they need.
Why is it important to promote children's independence?
You also promote their sociability, allowing them to develop their levels of self awareness and sensitivity towards others. A major benefit of encouraging child independence: children learn how to help those around them.
Following recent changes in legislation regarding allergens Beverley Manor Nursery School has implemented a system whereby all products that may contain allergens are listed and are available to parents on request. There are posters on the Parent Notice Board advising parents of the 14 allergens and where to seek more help or information.
