Guest Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 We are now including our lunch club as part of a 2 &half granted session, and consequently have had to look at our policies and risk assessments. Has any one got any ideas other than the usual allergies, plastic bags and lids etc that we would need to put on our risk assessment. We do risk assessment on most other things at pre-school but they want one specific to lunchclub and eating. we have part of our normal risk assessment, that inlcudes food and preparing etc for activities and snacks but this they want more specific. Also we have always included our lunchclub in with our other policies, but again our Advisory teachers and officers want something more specific for lunch it self. Mind has gone a total blank on anything different to what we normally have in our policies and procedures, and can't see what we need to be more "specific about"!!!!! But as the powers that be want more paperwork I will oblige!!!! Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 isn't it interesting how we all get picked up on different things - I don't have anything specific policy wise that is soley related to lunch club. only thing I can think of is that we ask parents to make sure they put an ice pack in their child's lunch box as we don't have cold facilities for storing them.

Guest Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Thanks Goose Thats about what we do now. We've being doing a lunchclub for 5/6 years and have never had Ofsted pick up on anything, but because we are now including as part of a granted session, which runs from 12.00 to 2.30 we have got to have all this extra paperwork. I've got a week to put it together so will probably pull it out from what we already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
