Meals and Snacks

We live to have cloths and flowers like a proper restaurant at kunchtine

We love to have cloths and flowers like a proper restaurant at lunchtime!  

We serve breakfast from 7.45 - 8.30 which is usually cereal and toast. 

Snacks are available for the children in Nursery from 10 - 11am and from 2.15 - 2.45 pm.  Our children cut their own fruit and pour their own milk during the morning snack time.  In the afternoons they often bake their own snacks as part of the activities.  We encourage independence and children are encouraged to try different new foods and to cook them.

Lunch is provided  following healthy eating guidelines and we have a menu which is rotated weekly over four weeks and changed for each new season.  Some meals will reflect certain festivals and celebrations.    We believe this is a good introduction to the concept of sitting together and eating ready for school.  It is also a very sociable activity and children enjoy this time together.  We follow healthy food and good oral health policies.  Our children are soon able to get their own cutlery, scrape their plates and put everything away themselves.  

Children who are staying for the evening will be offered a hot meal at 4.30.

 INDEPENDENT COOKING!  Our children help to prepare and cook their own 2 course lunches, we charge parents £4.00 for the meal.  This has proved to be a really popular because children are willing to try more foods which may not be familiar to them and have loved tasting the food which they have made themselves.  

Children also make their own bread regularly using our bread maker.

Adaptations are made for all children with allergies using gluten free, dairy free and other changes.  There is always a vegetarian alternative for children who are vegetarian.
