I totally understand a no nuts policy, and policies that ban anything else that is a known allergen. That's fine.

Perhaps it's just me but reading some of your responses I wonder where some of these kindy's/childcare centres get off - I mean if I want to give my DD a chocolate muffin or a non-nut, prewrapped muesli bar for her lunch as her parent that is my decision. I'd be pretty angry if it was sent home with a dirty note attached like I was some "naughty parent" who needed to be pulled into line.

I just think some of this is way over the top!
