We encourage children to develop healthy eating habits throughout their time at nursery. Their daily snack in nursery will include milk or water, with a variety of fruit and other healthy snacks. Please do not allow your child to bring any food into the nursery or the cloakroom as this can cause upset and can be dangerous for children with allergies. Children are not allowed to eat chewing gum in nursery for safety reasons, as they can easily choke during activities.
During baking/cooking activities children will prepare foods which may be eaten in nursery or taken home. At parties and special celebrations there may be a variation from the standard menu, but the emphasis at all times is on healthy eating. When your child has a birthday, we will celebrate their special day with a small party. They will receive a small gift and card and there will be a special snack. Please do not bring birthday cakes into Nursery as there could be children with allergies.
Please tell us if there are any foods that you do not wish your child to eat.
Snack/Treats Fund
Snack is charged for in all Glasgow City Council Nurseries, unless your child is eligible for free school meals (forms are available from the office). You are invited to contribute weekly to our Nursery Fund. The suggested donation to cover both snack and treats is £2.50 per week .This is used to offer children a wide range of healthy snacks, including fruit daily. It is also used to pay for baking ingredients; visiting theatre groups; parties/special events in the nursery; Christmas presents for the children and to increase children’s choice. The children help to plan these events and help to choose how the money is spent as part of their learning. They also help with the weekly shopping for snack.
