Healthy Snacks

The Early years foundation stage statutory frameworks states that “Where children are provided with meals, snacks and drinks, they must be healthy, balanced and nutritious. Before a child is admitted to the setting the childminder/provider must also obtain information about any special dietary requirements, preferences and food allergies that the child has, and any special health requirements. Fresh drinking water must be available and accessible at all times. Childminders/Providers must record and act on information from parents and carers about a child's dietary needs.”
