Please find attached ‘Pack lunch questionnaire’. The questionnaire is a tick list of certain types of foods which are allergens but are accepted in the setting. This form needs to be completed monthly as part of our Home prepared food policy and supports us to guarantee the children are able to have safe and enjoyable food consumptions. 

Food safety requirements for your child’s pack lunch box are to have an ice pack. This helps to keep children’s lunch boxes at a suitable temperature, until they are ready to be eaten.

A balanced lunchbox should contain a variety of nutritious foods from each of the five food groups –grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy and protein. Variety ensures children obtain a range of important nutrients, essential for growth and development, and keeps them alert throughout the day. Please find attached a healthy lunch box ideas to use when creating the packed lunches for the children as well as the lunch box rules for the setting.

    Dinner

    Tea

    Both

    If both please state in which order you would like staff members to give the food to your child

    I understand that to the best of my knowledge the above ingredients are within my child’s home prepared food. I agree to my child being given this food and I take full responsibility should my child become ill and it is thought this is as a result of digested food. I understand failure to provide a completed questionnaire or packed lunch will mean my child will be offered a Nursery meal which will be chargeable.
