Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Healey School ensures that snacks are healthy, balanced, and nutritious to support every child’s growth and development. To promote dental health and positive eating habits, we follow strict guidelines that require daily access to fresh drinking water and plain milk, while avoiding items with added sugar or salt. Healthy examples enjoyed by the children include sliced vegetables with hummus, portions of cheese, rice cakes, and a seasonal selection of fresh fruit. For detailed nutritional standards and meal ideas, parents can refer to the Eat Better, Start Better guidelines or the NHS Healthier Lunchboxes guide.
