Food & Beverage
Policy.
Children may bring a healthy meal and snack from home when these safety and nutrition requirements are followed.
01Pack a balanced meal
Choose age-appropriate portions with fruit or vegetables, whole grains and a suitable source of protein. Water and plain milk are welcome.
02Keep Mini Me nut-free
Do not send nuts, nut butters or foods containing nuts. Families must declare every allergy and dietary requirement during registration and update us immediately if it changes.
03Prevent choking
Food must be cut and prepared for your child’s age. Do not send whole grapes, popcorn, hard sweets, whole nuts or other hard, round or sticky foods.
04Label and pack safely
Use a clean, sealed lunchbox and bottle labelled with the child’s full name. Pack food at a safe temperature with an ice pack when needed.
05Leave these at home
No fizzy drinks, energy drinks, sweets, chocolate, chewing gum, crisps or highly processed snack foods.
06Do not share food
Children may eat only the food packed for them. Staff may withhold any item that creates an allergy, choking or food-safety risk and will inform the family.
