Snack

Every morning and afternoon we have a snack bar where the children can independently, with adult support, access a healthy snack and drink. We believe it is the perfect opportunity for the children to experience lots of different fruits and vegetables and be involved with the snack bar, so we ask that you bring in a piece of fruit or vegetable for example peppers, cucumber, carrots that we can chop up and prepare for the children. We can also have breadsticks, crackers and dried fruit and the children enjoy trying the different textures.
