At Teynham Community Pre -School we advocate healthy eating for all children. We feel that by promoting a healthy lifestyle and good food choices at Pre -School age we can help prevent children making bad food choices as they become older. Education into such an important factor is vital. 

What to include in your child's lunch box to provide variety but to also be balanced can be tricky, however we find that the Change4life website has fantastic guidance. Please see the link below to direct you to the change4life website, it might be a good idea to sit down with your child and use this website to as it does cater for all ages. 

 

During parent consultations we have had alot of feedback that parents are finding meal times difficult with their children refusng to eat a plate of food and preferring to snack instead, please look at the link below which gives you some ideas on how to encouarge eating at meal times. Please let us know if you have any other tips or advice that we could give to other parents.

October 2018 - Update: 

In line with recent training undertaken we will no longer be offering rasins as a snack for the children at Pre -School. The training  showed that rasins are high in natural sugars and are better offered as part of a meal rather than as a standalone snack. Therfore we will be replacing rasins with fresh fruit or vegetables depending on the time of year.
