Snacks

At Holy Redeemer Pre-School, we provide a selection of healthy and nutritious snacks for the children, including milk, fresh fruit and vegetables, toast, pitta bread and hummus.

There is no fixed fee for snacks. However, where possible, we kindly ask families to make a voluntary contribution of £1–£2 per week towards the cost of providing these refreshments.
Contributions can be made by bank transfer.

Packed Lunches

If your child brings a packed lunch, please provide a healthy, balanced and nutritious meal with a variety of foods where possible. We encourage families to include fruit and vegetables, wholegrain or starchy foods, and a suitable source of protein.

For children’s safety, please ensure that foods which may present a choking risk are prepared and cut appropriately in line with current UK choking guidance. This includes foods such as grapes, blueberries, cherry tomatoes and sausages.

Please ensure that all packed lunches are provided with an ice pack or suitable cool pack to help keep food at a safe temperature until lunchtime.

Nut-Free Setting

Holy Redeemer Pre-School is a nut-free setting. To help protect children with nut allergies, please do not include nuts or products containing nuts in your child’s packed lunch or snacks. This includes peanuts, tree nuts and foods made with nut ingredients, such as nut butters. Please check food labels carefully before sending items into preschool.
