​We aim to promote healthy living and will incorporate this into activity planning as well as snack and meal times. We often prepare and cook our snacks with the children, enjoying a range of homemade bread, cakes and biscuits along with a variety of fruit and vegetables.

Activities are planned regularly to assist in introducing children to a variety of flavours and textures and to support the development of an awareness of their own bodies, healthy eating and food from other countries and cultures. 

​Fresh drinking water is available at all times and children are encouraged to help themselves.​
