At Seashells Nursery we promote healthy nutritious snacks and meals.
We will provide a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables during snack time for your child to try and enjoy. You will be required to provide a healthy pack lunch for your child. If you are stuck for ideas on how to prepare a healthy and nutritionally balanced packed lunch, then please speak to a member of our team who can assist you. Due to possible allergies, we ask products containing nuts are not included in your child's lunch box. and we encourage them to be h as possible.
We encourage independence whenever possible. Examples of which are where the children (excluding the baby room) may choose and help prepare their own food for snack with supervision from a member of staff.
To ensure we meet the needs of the child, we request that all allergies and special dietary requirements are brought to the attention of staff at the time of enrolment. Should any health issues arise later, you are welcome to bring this to our attention at any time.
Special Treats: If parent/carers wish to bring in cake for their child's birthday this can be supervised and distributed by staff. Please be aware that we will only accept cakes that are in a sealed, manufacturer's container. Unfortunately we are unable to distribute cakes around the nursery that are home made.
