Children often like to bring in treats on/near their birthday for their friends to enjoy at home time! 

At Muhammadi Madrasah we have a large number of children with complex allergies. Therefore we felt it would help parents, when choosing the treat, to have some guidelines and suggestions as to which treats are acceptable.  With the growing understanding and diagnosis of food allergies, we require birthday treats to contain no nuts or traces of nuts. Birthday treats need to be suitable for vegetarians and it is also important that treats are packaged with clearly labelled ingredients (this is not always the case from Multi-pack items so please check carefully before sending them in).  

Fun or snack size chocolate bars/biscuits such as those on the list below are acceptable to send in, but as we also have children with dairy allergies we ask that you send in atleast 5 dairy-free alternatives ie. raisins/fruit bags for those children to also receive a birthday treat from their friends.

Please hand the Birthday Treats to your childs teacher personally before the class begins.

Below is a list of birthday treats that are acceptable at Madrasah: 

Treats should be funsize only (ie mini/snack size/funsize)

Cadbury's Buttons
Cadbury's Dairy Milk
Cadbury's Twirl
Cadbury's Flake
Maltesers
Penguin Biscuits

Non-dairy suggestions:

Fruit bags
Raisin boxes
Fruit-roll ups
Dairy free biscuits

Unfortunately, although this has previously been allowed, due to health-risks to our students we can no longer allow any home-made treats to be given out (ie cupcakes, cake, biscuits etc).
