SNACKS AND LUNCH

At Moulton Preschool we know how important it is for your children to have a healthy and balanced diet. We will provide your child with a healthy snack mid morning. We have a rolling snack system which means your child will always be given a choice. Other benefits of rolling snack include:

• Children will be able to spend more time playing and learning and less time waiting for their peers to finish their snack

• Helps to build confidence and self awareness

• Excellent opportunity to build on language and communication 

• Develops children's motor skills

• Develops children's self help skills as they can help to prepare their own snack for example butter their own toast or pour their own drink

• Promotes independence

 

Here is a list of some of the snacks that we offer. Everyday the children have a choice of two different fruits and one carbohydrate option. The fruit is provided to us free from Newmarket Tesco. 

• Weetabix

• Cornflakes

• Rice Krispies

• Crackers

• Rice Cakes

• Toast 

• Wraps

• Strawberries

• Yogurts

• Oranges

• Apples

• Bananas 

• Grapes 

• Melon 

• Cucumber 

• Peppers

​

If your child is joining us for the whole session we ask that all parents and carers provide them with a healthy lunch in a named lunchbox with an ice pack inside. We are a nut free site and ask that all adhere to this policy. 

Some examples of things you could include in your child's lunch are:

​

• Sandwiches, Wraps Pittas etc.

• Pasta

• Fresh/Dried Fruit

• Vegetable sticks/slices

• Yogurt

• Cheese

• Small bag of crisps
