We teach our children about good food choices and promote a healthy attitude about food. We involve our parents to join us to promote good eating habits and excellent quality of food choices. Through the day, children will be having two meals (breakfast and lunch) and fruit time.A fternoon duty children will have another snack time.
Little Helper Nursery has a Nuts Free policy due to children that might have allergies. Families of children with special duties should fill a form and provide a medical practitioner report outlining the condition or allergy.
Each child should have a lunch box unless if he signed up for the healthy meals plan. The food will be kept in the fridge. All the food sent to the Nursery should be stored in an appropriate manner and in a clean and hygienic environment.
