AnonyMouse_96656 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Could I please ask you whether you allow parents to bring sweets etc for children's birthdays to hand out? Also, do you give your children Easter eggs to take home? Obviously settings are trying to promote healthy eating and oral health etc, so just wondering Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also give a small chocolate treat at easter- again this is given directly to the parents. It\s only ever 1 or 2 very small choc bunny/chicks, usually in rice crispy nest. I'm a bit funny about giving small solid choc eggs though, as they can be a choking hazard - so its always those 'flat' choc things - about 12 for 75P ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously settings are trying to promote healthy eating and oral health etc, so just wondering Thank you in advance We have recently switched to birthday books....so the birthday child brings in the story for the day. They sometimes donate the book to us or they take it home (either is fine) . We tend to do playdough for easter. We have tried to cut down on sugar in lots of ways...cookery activities are thought about carefully. etc didn't stop us having pancakes today...though just with sugar and lemon, i wouldn't do chocolate spread etc now. To be fair this has been led somewhat by parents who have changed their preferences at home too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
