Whether it is legal to run small catering in kindergartens needs to be judged according to local laws and regulations. In China, it is legal for kindergartens to apply for a small catering license, but it needs to meet the requirements of hygiene, safety and food safety.

The rationality of applying for a small catering license mainly depends on the following points:

1. Healthy eating: The catering service provided to children by kindergartens is conducive to ensuring that children get balanced food and promoting their healthy growth.

2. Hygiene and safety: Handling a small catering permit means that kindergartens need to meet hygiene standards and conduct regular inspections, which is helpful to improve the hygiene and safety level of food and reduce the occurrence of food-borne diseases.

3. Convenience for parents: Providing small catering services can reduce the burden on parents, especially those who pick up their children in the morning and evening. They can save time and energy in preparing food and take care of their children more conveniently and quickly.

However, the following issues should be paid attention to when handling the small catering license:

1. Input cost: Catering services need to be equipped with facilities and articles such as kitchen, tableware and food, which requires a certain amount of capital investment.

2. personnel management: professional chefs and waiters are needed to provide small catering services, and kindergartens need to recruit qualified catering personnel with corresponding personnel management and training.

3. food safety: when providing small catering services, kindergartens need to strictly control the safety and hygiene of food to ensure that the food quality meets relevant standards.

Generally speaking, when handling small catering licenses in kindergartens, it is necessary to comply with relevant laws and standards while providing convenience, so as to ensure the rationality of food safety, hygiene and nutrition. Only in this way can we ensure the legitimacy and credibility of the small catering service in kindergartens.
