Guest Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 Hey alm- how come you still get full cream milk? Do you claim back the money for your milk? We do and the milkman now only brings semi-skimmed - he said due to new health regulations we can no longer have full cream. Shame that was really nice when there was some left over in the tea! Anyone else lost their full cream?
Deb Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Sally we've lost our full cream milk too, kept querying it with our supplier as had always understood children under 5 should have full cream milk. Was told Government guidelines stipulate semi-skimmed milk now. Can't remember why.
Guest Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Still get our full cream, and yes we claim back. We did think about changing over actually, and asked the advice from the health visitor. We were advised to keep to full cream, for the nutritional value, as some children would not have had breakfast. Does anyone have a link to those government guidelines?
Inge Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Still have full cream and claim it back... If I place an order with the milkman i would expect to receive what i ordered , it is not for him to decide what the children in our care receive but ours! Ours is the local milkman who delivers to us, decided against milk supplier...we can recycle milk bottles but they supplied cartons and plastic containers...also we like to support the local milkman to help keep his round when so many are no longer around.

Guest Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 At our pre-school we have full fat milk with a choice from two types of fruit/veg ( such as apples, pears, oranges, bananas, peaches, carrots, melon etc) then to ad variety we do bread sticks, toast or sandwiches (made by children) with a variety of spreads. Haven't thought of pitta breads, we will have to give that a go. Sally
sandie Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Thanks Crystal I've had a quick search on the internet and have come up with the following link to a new policy that came out September 2007. I think though from whati have read that at the moment it is only relevant to schools, but i'm going to do some more delving. Will post further info if i find it. http://www.schoolfoodtrust.org.uk/doc_item...&DocCatId=1 hi we too have received some info from our advisory teacher about standards for snacks. this states that no biscuits, crackers or breadsticks be given and water or milk only for drinks (full cream for under 5's). we are a pre school and it is not clear if this applies to schools only, although I guess its best to get the ball rolling at pre school. Does anyone know if this is the regulation for under 5's? Sandie Edited January 14, 2008 by sandie

fizzy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Does anyone know why not crackers or bread sticks? our children love them. Are they choking hazards?
Guest Wolfie Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 That's the only thing that I can think of....our children love them too!
