Snack and mealtimes provide opportunities for children to develop independence, practise good hygiene, socialise with others and learn about healthy eating.

Nursery and Preschool

Assunnah Primary School Nursery provides healthy snacks for Nursery and Preschool children. Snacks may include:

• Fresh fruit
• Breadsticks
• Crackers
• Other suitable healthy snacks

Parents are asked to pay a snack contribution towards the cost.

Children are also provided with milk, which is served to them in a cup.

Children attending for the full day must bring a healthy packed lunch from home, as the school does not provide cooked meals.

Reception

Reception children should bring:

• A piece of fresh fruit for snack time
• A healthy packed lunch
• A clearly labelled bottle of water

Packed lunches should be balanced and nutritious. Parents should avoid including sweets, fizzy drinks and foods that are high in sugar or salt.

Please ensure that all lunch boxes and drinks bottles are clearly labelled with the child’s full name. Parents must inform the school of any allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements.
