Mindees arrive about 9ish. we have snack about 10ish, lunch at 12.30, another snack at 3.30 then all go home by 5.

One child is a big boy for 3yrs. He quite often has a full fried breakfast at home or porridge/cereal/toast. He arrived this morning with a full round of ham sandwiches, grapes and a babybel cheese, which he ate just before 9. Then we had snack (half ham sandwich and fruit + a drink) at 10. He is now saying he is hungry again!!!!!

Now i'm not sure he could possibly be hungry, so have sent him off to play saying we willl have early lunch at 12.

Do you allow constant snacking or stick to set snack/meal times? I was thinking of allowing him fruit which is always in bowl on table but just can see how he can really be hungry. Wondering if maybe he is thirsty rather than hungry
