Breakfast Club

We serve a wide selection of foods at the breakfast club. Children have a choice of healthy whole grain cereals and milks along with buttered toast, bagels and crumpets. They can choose to drink milk or water with their breakfast.

School Lunchtimes

Hot Lunches

Hot lunches are provided by Central Nursery at a cost of £3.20 per day. Please see below for the current menu, or alternatively, children can bring a healthy packed lunch from home.  All the children sit together and eat lunch socially within the nursery to eat before going out to play in the garden after lunch. Children are supported by our experienced team of midday play workers through lunchtimes. 

Packed Lunches

Alternatively, children can bring a healthy packed lunch from home.  If you provide a packed lunch then it must be in a lunch bag with an ice pack. 

• Please supply a drink in a water bottle. No fizzy drinks allowed.
• No chicken legs or fish with bones in them.  All meat must be bone free.
• No nuts or sesame seeds can be any ingredients in lunches due to food allergies in nursery. Please check cereal bars carefully, thank you.
• Please provide any cutlery such as spoons or forks if your child has items such as yoghurt or pasta.

Please do not send too much food or too many options as this can be overwhelming. Children need about three or four small items in their lunch box.  Such as a sandwich, wrap or pasta pot, salad or veg sticks, fruit or yogurt and a little treat such as a malt-loaf, small piece of cake or a biscuit. 

After-School Club Meals 

A selection of sandwiches with a choice of fillings is served each evening with a drink of milk or water.  This light meal is followed by a selection of natural yoghurt and fresh fruits daily. Tea is served at around 4.10pm for those children who stay at our after-school provision. 

Snack Times

All children are offered a snack during each morning and afternoon session.

All children can access a drink of water at any time throughout the day, cups are provided, they do not need to bring water bottles from home for drinks throughout the day.

During the morning and afternoon, we open our snack café in the nursery for children to come for a self-selected snack.  Children can sit around the tables with their friends and adults in the nursery. They very much enjoy chatting with friends whilst they refuel.  The children can enjoy a piece of fruit and a carbohydrate snack such as malt loaf, crackers, bread sticks or fruit loaf at snack time.  They also have a choice of a drink of milk or water at the snack table.  Children are encouraged to select their own snack and pour their own drinks in the snack café before clearing away their own pots.

We are very conscious of ensuring that snacks and meals are healthy, savoury and varied, supporting children to make independent food choices and understand the importance of healthy eating.
