questionnaire on drinks

If you've not filled out my question on the under5's site......could you please help me here. I am studying my ADCE and doing my dissertation unit. All info is entirely confidential and no names or locations will be mentioned. I am merely trying to get as many settings a I can to respond so that I have some good quantative data for my graphs.

How many children in your session
how many staff
how many adult (exc.staff) i.e.parent helpers
what drinks does your setting offer the children
do you allow drinks to come in from home?
Which kind of drinks do you allow from home?
Why do you allow these?

many thanks for your help!

How many children in your session - 26 and 16 (2 halls)
how many staff - 9
how many adult (exc.staff) i.e.parent helpers - 0
what drinks does your setting offer the children - milk (in cartons) and water
do you allow drinks to come in from home? - only if there is a specific need, ie allergic to milk
Which kind of drinks do you allow from home? small fresh juice cartons
Why do you allow these? if a child is allergic to milk as we do not provide juice

hope that this helps

Id love to answer this but alas work in a pub.Having said that a few of the customers are worse than any child Ive had the pleasure of looking after.good luck all the same

Staff....9

yes children bring drinks in from home-they bring packed lunches
we have never disallowed any drinks..most parents pack natural juices or bottled water ...never had fizzy drinks

Many thanks for your responses. Have got some great info to include from all across the country now. Anyone else who wants to join in please feel free. No names or areas will be mentioned in my final work. Once again thanks!

Bumping this up to see if anythings changed during the year !!?

Do parents ever ask what access the children have to fresh water in the room ?

At my sons preschool they have a milk bar, the children can ask for milk & water throughout the session.
