Jen has introduced and developed our self service snack bar for all children within the Nursery. Every child is encouraged to help themselves to fruit and cereal/toast and to pour their own milk and water at the table.

Independence at snack time provides children with rich learning opportunities whilst meeting  nutritional needs. Additionally, it enables children to gain responsibility and respect by clearing away their own dishes, glasses and cutlery. Through self service snack we encourage children to explore new and familiar taste experiences where they can discover their personal likes and dislikes. Jen hopes to introduce a wider selection of morning and afternoon snacks and discuss healthy food choices with our children.   (Photographs to follow).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jen for all her hard work in developing our new self service snack bar.
