MY DS made & iced a cup cake at nursery yesterday & I let him eat it on the way home - slapped wrist ;) He also sometime has an ice cream on the way home if it's sunny & he's been extra good, I hope no one sees this either :lol:

In fairness, he does eat v.healthily & he's not allowed sweets etc, we offer fruit or yogurt at pudding & he only gets cake at birthday parties.

I think it's all about balance.

I'm with Petal on being disappointed that sugary desserts form a daily habit at nurseries and schools. Every parent should be able to go with what works for them but personally I'm more and more convinced by the research that sugar is bad for general health (by which I don't mean weight gain but illness and disease). Petal - if you haven't seen it already there's a great book called 'getting the little blighters to eat: change your children from fussy eaters in to foodies' written by an nhs paediatric dietician which advocates only giving sweet treats one day a week. my two are starting nursery soon so I'm going to try saying no desserts other than fruit for them and hoping they're young enough not to notice what the others are having?!!
