Healthy Eating
We believe eating well is very important for children’s health and all-round development. A healthy enjoyable snack and lunch give children that energy they need to play and learn. As a Pre-School it is our responsibility to support children in healthy eating. It is not only part of our policy but is also a statutory requirement that we need to maintain.
Watoto Pre-School is an accredited Sheffield Healthy Early Years setting, this award recognises our efforts in supporting our children’s health and wellbeing.
We prepare a nutritious breakfast which is free for children who attend the breakfast club, and we have light snacks available for a small charge throughout the day.
Pre-School lunches are purchased from Byron Wood Academy who have a large kitchen on site, please see the rotating menu below.
Any Dietary requirements will be catered for, we are happy to discuss individual needs on entry.
IF YOUR CHILD HAS AN ALLERGY TO ANY FOOD, WE MUST BE INFORMED
Healthy Snacks & Pack Lunches
We understand that providing a snack and or packed lunch can be difficult, therefore we have produced the leaflet below with lots of ideas and extra guidance on what to include, to ensure your children's snack and lunch bags are healthy, balanced and nutritious.
We would like to encourage parents to be more aware of the foods going into snack and lunch bags.
We discourage crisps, chocolate, cakes and squash and would prefer to see fruit, yoghurts, vegetables or healthy alternatives.
