The sharing of refreshments can play an important part in the social life of Rainbow Pre-School as well as reinforcing children’s understanding of the important of healthy eating.

 Rainbow will ensure that:

·        All meals and snacks provided are nutritious, avoiding large quantities of fat, sugar, salt, additives, preservatives and colourings.

·        Children’s medical and personal dietary requirements are respected.

·        A multi-cultural diet is offered to ensure that children from all backgrounds encounter familiar tastes and that all children have the opportunity also to try unfamiliar foods.

·        Milk provided for children is whole and pasteurised.

 

Drinking water is available at all times – the children are made aware of this.
