As a registered childminder I will agree with the parents during the contract stage as to whether I am to provide food, or if the parents will provide food. I will take into account any allergies or dislikes that the child may have. Any allergies will be recorded on the Child Record Form. I have a children’s table where the children will eat their meals and be able to develop their social skills.
Varied wholesome nutritious meals which are consistent with the parent’s and child’s needs will be offered. A sample menu plan can be found attached. Food will be served in adequate quantities at appropriate intervals/times.
Fresh drinking water, squash, juice and milk will be available at all times.
