Healthy Snacks (a snack and drink are provided each day; however this is not intended to substitute for a main evening meal that the children may receive at home.)
We promote independence, by encouraging the children to serve their own breakfast and snacks, and to clear away after themselves. We use fresh ingredients and follow statutory guidelines. Fresh drinking water is available at all times. Individual dietary requirements and parental preferences are met wherever possible. We recognise the importance of healthy nutrition and have a summer and winter menu which offers balanced snacks.
staffing
Playtime is staffed by a Manager, Deputy Manager, and 3 Play Workers. Our staff have significant experience of working with children, and comply with requirements for registered childcare. Staff are expected to undertake professional development training. All staff members are checked through The Disclosure and Barring Service.
