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).

 

Muhammadi Madrasah encourages acts of charity both from our students and from parents.  From time to time we receive requests from parents and other donors who wish to give out food items as Fatiya.  The Madrasah will always support these donations although as an institution our priority remains for the health, safety and well-being of our students.  At Muhammadi Madrasah we have a large number of children with complex allergies, bearing this in mind and also the health of all our students we have taken the initiative to have some guidelines and suggestions as to which items of Fatiya will be suitable.  :

Items of Fatiya must:

  • Not contain nuts or traces of nuts
  • Be suitable for vegetarians
  • No sweets will be permitted, this includes lollipops, bubblegum or sherbet powders.
  • Be clearly labelled with ingredients, if it is prepacked
  • Have an expiry date of minimum 4 weeks of the date it will be handed out, if prepacked.  Any prepacked items without a clearly visible expiry date will not be accepted.
  • If you would like to provide home-made or catered items such as veg samosa, mandazi etc please ensure each item is individually wrapped

If you would like to provide Fatiya for a/any class of Madrasah please email/telephone the Madrasah BEFORE purchasing your items.  All items of Fatiya must be handed to the Madrasah Office upon prior approval.  Unfortunately we cannot accept Fatiya donations without notice of a minimum of one week.
