Promoting a healthy environment for children
P6.5
When planning my involvement in serving up lunch I didn’t need any parental consent but I did however, need permission from the staff in my setting as students don’t have any involvement with preparing food, only feeding the children.
Before I began preparing the child’s lunch I ensured that I followed the placement policy which state that before meals “”all tables used during mealtimes were cleaned before the children could be seated”. I also made sure that my own hands were washed and then I cleaned the children’s hands with wet wipes. Before sitting the children down a member of staff made me aware of the child’s dietary requirement and that he wasn’t allowed beef.
