Finger Food Without the Fear

There are many rumours circulating about which foods are safe or unsafe for children to eat. Doctors have warned parents that grapes are the third most common cause of death amongst under-fives who die in food related choking incidents. To prevent parents and carers becoming confused by conflicting advice, the Child Accident Prevention Trust have devised a quick guide to preventing a food-choking accident. See the flyer below. They are also available for you to take home in the nursery foyer. It is advised by staff at Step Start, that you follow these guidelines when preparing a packed lunch for your child.
