During the nursery day, the children have free access to water or milk and the healthy snack that has been provided by their family. To encourage their ongoing independence, setting up a snack station may help.
Each morning and afternoon the children could choose one or two items to set out in their Snack Station as well as selecting a drink. This gives the opportunity to talk about healthy food and drink choices. They can then choose when they want to enjoy them.
The children are all very good at washing their hands before they sit at the table to eat and tidying away their dishes afterwards.
If your child is also showing an interest in number and money then you could create a menu together of available snacks and prices and give them a small daily snack budget.
Such a fab idea to keep the kids busy during this time,
