Food for thought
Little Stars Private Day Nursery provides a healthy eating plan. The older children take part in a healthy eating scheme organised by Ulster Community and Hospital Trust. A balanced and nutritious meal is provided in addition to morning and after school snacks. Mealtimes are supervised to help them learn table manners and social skills.
Each month we provide opportunities for your child to taste and make foods from our chosen country e.g. Spanish month will include food such as paella and tapas.
Fuel for learning, morning and afternoon
We provide breaks to the children in the morning and afternoon. This consists of a plain biscuit or bread as outlined below and a variety of fruit as follows:
- Wheaten bread, Veda bread, pancakes, bagels, toast, sandwiches, fruit loaf, scones and plain biscuits, accompanied by a selection of two of the following:
- Apples oranges strawberries, blueberries, melon, grapes, bananas, pears, kiwis, raisins, and cheese
- The children receive 1/3 pint of milk daily. We also provide water throughout the day
Breakfast
Parents are allowed to bring breakfasts for their children. We request parents to help us by bringing a healthy option.
