Children are encouraged to eat a snack daily. The menu for snack and lunch are displayed daily. If your child has any particular food allergies, it is essential you discuss this with a member of staff and the necessary paperwork is completed.

A typical snack will include a drink of water or milk, fruit or vegetables and a carbohydrate like toast or baguette. Lunch is prepared by the school kitchen and eaten in the Nursery with all the other Nursery children. The menu offers a vegetarian main, soup, salad and fruit or yogurt.. The children all get served the same meal unless a dietary requirement has been discussed. We aim to follow a family style lunch where staff members sit with the children to encourage healthy eating and manners. Snack and lunch are rolling so children can choose when they join us between a certain time, this means we do not disturb their play.

Children are encouraged to participate in choosing their own food and in washing their plates and cutlery. It then goes in the dishwasher.
