Magnificent Munchers We help children with ARFID, and those who are fussy and picky eaters to feel comfortable around food. Groups take place in St Albans and Welwyn Garden City.

Jacqueline Parkinson’s Magnificent Munchers specialises in helping children increase their food range by making food fun and working at each child's pace. The team consists of an Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, two Therapy Assistants and a Dietician. We will work with children with a variety of conditions including ARFID

We offer individual and group intervention depending on the child's need and age. Zoom sessions
Jacqueline offers zoom therapy sessions to children over 8. Following a FREE 15 meet and greet weekly sessions take place over zoom with Jacqueline and the child having the same foods each end of the zoom. We will help fussy eaters to enjoy a full range of foods and eat happily with the family at home

Individual Sessions
Following a meal time assessment sessions take place at home at a time when your child is peckish. After school sessions available

Group Sessions
These run over a school term on a Saturday and Tuesday and are suitable for children at primary school.

Not all children eat pasta. At Munchers we start the eating process through play so children feel comfortable looking and touching it to start with. Working at each child’s pace is what we do. 🍜 🍝

Sharing mealtimes is a simple way to expose children to different foods.

Saturday Food School is all about making food feel fun and stress-free 🥕🌯✨

Through play and exploration, children can learn about different foods and textures, get comfortable using all their senses and gradually build confidence around food - without pressure to eat.

🥔 One food, so many ways to explore it!
Gnocchi can be boiled but if you roast it it becomes dry and crispy, like a mini roast potato.
Encourage your child to feel it before and after cooking, squash it and think how similar it is to a familiar food.
At Munchers we help children become more comfortable with foods in different forms 💛

I worry for the children we work with. Already so much judgement about food.

The government describes its new school food standards as "once-in-a-generation changes".

Exploring vegetables in different forms can make them feel much less scary 🙌

Making parsnip crisps is quick, easy and children can get involved. They are dry, beige and sweet.

They’re also a great snack for parents too, especially with roast dinner season coming up! 🍂
