To provide information to families about the inclusion of discretionary food items I could ?? (Stuck on this one)

c) Outline how you would lead and facilitate this experience to ensure that food safety and hygiene standards are maintained throughout the Easter egg hunt.

(My answer so far)
To ensure that food safety and hygiene standards are maintained throughout the Easter egg hunt I would:
-Make sure that the Easter eggs are wrapped up so that the food inside doesn't become contaminated.
-Only hide them right before the Easter egg hunt so they are still fresh and haven't been sitting in the sun for too long.

Hi Ebony,

For b) how about information brochures, fact sheets on appropriate foods, a copy of the services nutrition policy.

For c) you could also include: keeping the Easter eggs out of the sun and off the ground, encouraging children to wash their hands before opening and eating them, making sure there aren't insects in the area, adding a few eggs in a clear plastic pouch (or cellophane tied in ribbon) that each child must find rather than having separate eggs...

I also noticed that you locked this forum topic. This means that other users are unable to assist you with your question. Were you meant to do this?

Hope this helps,
