Allergies & Intolerance

If your tamariki has a food allergy or intolerance, we ask that families provide a nut-free lunchbox containing only foods that are safe for their child to eat. This helps us ensure we can confidently provide a safe environment for all tamariki, particularly those with known allergies or dietary requirements.

Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with our Suggested Lunchbox Guide, which provides practical ideas for packing a balanced, nutritious and age-appropriate lunchbox for your tamariki.

We also ask all whānau to read the Ministry of Health guidance, Reducing food-related choking for babies and young children at early learning services. This resource provides important information about foods that can present a choking risk and how they should be prepared for young children.
