I'm interested how settings organise their snack time? Currently a member of staff makes snack then brings it out to the children with a child handing it out. I've read that lots of clubs put snack out and children access this as and when- how does this work when you have a lot of children some nights we have 40 for snack and there is not enough tables and chairs for everyone to sit. However I suppose once this has been introduced and is no longer a novelty children won't all rush to eat they will do it as and when? Any ideas greatly received. Also any ideas as to what to serve? Thanks Bev
