Hi!
I'm currently caring for school age kids only term time only, and have just managed to fill all my places under 8's and over 8's! Although I've been a childminder a long time, I am now trying to appear more professional and send out newsletters, and have a noticeboard showing meal plans, fire escapes, display artwork etc. I provide breakfast which is no problem but am stuck for after school snack ideas now the weather is colder. During summer, mindees were having little picnics outside with things like sandwiches, icecreams, etc. However, now we are eating indoors I need ideas for food that can poss be left cooking whilst I go out at 3pm/4pm school runs, or just warmed up when we return. It needs to be just a snack tho not a big dinner as will have up to 12 kids to cater for, and people start to collect from 4.30pm onwards so will need to be something thay could take with them if necessary. Am thinking of things like mini pasties/hot sausage rolls, toasted crumpets/bagels/muffins etc. Any bright ideas please.... x
