Preschool 

Preschool children are required to bring their own snacks, lunch and water bottle from home each day.  Please ensure your child’s lunch is healthy and nutritionally balanced. Please provide a drink for your child (preferably water).  No nuts please.

Preschool staff do not heat lunches for children. If you want your child to have a warm lunch, please send it in a thermos.  In order to keep food safe, please put an ice pack in your child’s lunch bag.

Parents can order an ISA lunch using the order form available each week on the community’s hub’s daily notices.  

Preschool staff eat their lunch with the children, where they can model good eating habits and healthy food choices.

Birthdays Treats

Birthdays are very exciting for Preschool age children. On these special occasions, the child, along with their key worker and friends, will bake small cupcakes to share during snack. Staff are aware of allergies and ingredients are checked, with any alternatives in place where needed, so all children can be included.
