WESTFIELD
CHILDREN’S CENTRE
Food Management Policy
Meal and snack times should be a happy, social occasion for staff and children
alike.
Children can often have strong preferences for one type of food or another and
may show signs of allergy or dislike towards certain foods.
To ensure that food meets the requirements of the maximum number of children
and that it is of the highest quality the following procedures will be followed during
all meal times.
•
All food will be checked at the time of use to ensure that it is not past
its use by date (best before date)
• Vegetarian options will be catered for on request.
• No food containing nuts or traces of nuts will be used. Parents will be asked
to inform of any known allergies on the enrolment form on the induction visit.
Any other dietary requirements are a matter of agreement between the setting and
parents/carers
