About this resource
EYFS Snack & Healthy Eating Policy Editable Template
An editable Snack & Healthy Eating Policy designed for Early Years settings in England, reflecting the current EYFS statutory requirements and DfE nutrition guidance.
The policy supports settings to clearly set out their approach to providing healthy, balanced and nutritious snacks and drinks, while ensuring snack and mealtimes are safe, inclusive and positive experiences for young children.
It covers snack provision, drinks and hydration, allergies and intolerances, individual dietary requirements, safer eating and choking prevention, food hygiene and preparation, the role of the adult, celebrations and food brought from home, and working in partnership with parents and carers.
The document is fully editable, with clearly highlighted sections for settings to personalise according to their own snack provision, allergy procedures and individual arrangements.
A useful starting point for nurseries, preschools, childminders and school-based EYFS teams reviewing or updating their current snack and healthy eating policy.
Please note: This is an editable template and should be adapted to reflect the individual setting and its procedures.
