An A to Z of DUCKS
Lunch and Snacks DUCKS is committed to offering children healthy, nutritious and balanced meals and snacks which meet the individual needs and requirements of each child. All food allergies or special dietary requirements will be taken into account and, in discussion with the parents/carers, catered for. Please do not provide your child with additional snacks or drinks as these may pose a risk to any children with allergies. Please speak to any member of staff about the ingredients in any meal if you need any further information about allergens. If you wish to bring homemade food for your child to share with their friends we ask that you complete the Ingredients Checklist found of the parent portal. Shop bought cakes must also have the list of ingredients clearly labelled. Food from home must not contain any trace of seeds or nuts. During the school day, all children are offered a mid-morning snack and access to water at all times. We ask that all infants’ school children bring a named, filled water bottle with them each day. In the Kindergarten, children attending for a full day are offered breakfast and afternoon tea. In the Infants’ School, children booked into Before School Care may have breakfast and for those in after school clubs and wrap around care afternoon snack is served. Lunch is a two course meal and is provided on site by our own chef and kitchen assistant. We offer beef, halal chicken and vegetarian options and do not serve any nut products. The lunch menu is attached to the weekly newsletter, available on the school website. Mealtimes are a happy, social occasion for staff and children to eat together in each of the rooms. Positive interactions are shared and enjoyed at these times. For our younger children a record of what your child has eaten for lunch is displayed outside the Toddler and Duckling rooms.
