Snacks and Drinks

The children have access to fresh water at all times, and are encouraged to help themselves to a cup whenever they would like one. We have a ready supply of clean cups by the water cooler! 

At snack time the children are offered a choice of fruit and drinks. We do like to encourage the children to drink milk, but if they do not want it there is also water or blackcurrant squash. When your child starts at pre-school you will be asked which drinks you would like your child to be offered. We always offer fresh fruit and the children are offered a variety to choose from. We do not offer biscuits, but do sometimes offer buttered toast.

When your child attends Rising Fives they will need to bring a packed lunch with them. We do ask that you do not put too much in their lunch box, as there is a set time for them to eat in. Please do not include any items containing nuts or traces of nuts, or kiwi fruit, due to allergies. Milk, water or blackcurrant squash is available for the children to drink but you are welcome to send their own drink if you wish as long as it is not fizzy. We do not allow any sweets.
