Parents are welcome to provide their child with a packed lunch if they wish. Parents also need to ensure that I am made aware of their child’s allergies/ intolerances or cultural requirements. Junk food/crisps/ chocolates/sweets/crisps/biscuits etc are not banned from my setting, although every child is actively encouraged to make healthy choices.
