Please let us know if there is anything you would prefer your child not to have and we are happy to provide an alternative.
The lunch menu for the day will be written up on the notice board. We will always let you know if children have not eaten much for whatever reason.
If your child has a fully funded session parents can provide their own packed lunch if they prefer but it must meet our food guidelines.
Snack
We provide a mid morning snack for all our children, which includes a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, and starchy carbs such as crackers and rice cakes. We offer milk or diary free alternatives (oat milk or Koko milk)at snack time.
Our children that stay until 4.00pm are offered a small snack again before home time.
We ask parents to contribute £0.50 per day towards children's snack.
