Meals:
Baby food: We accept prepared bottles and baby food for children under one year. From age one, children are expected to eat nursery meals and will be charged accordingly. Babies who are weaning will be supported by the baby room team. We cannot store unprepared powdered milk. Please provide healthy meals and avoid juice or sugary snacks.
Breakfast: A complimentary breakfast is available from 8:00–9:00am. If your child arrives after 9:00am, please ensure they have eaten at home.
Packed lunches: Parents are able to bring in a healthy packed lunch. Due to health & safety (food allergies of some of our children), it is nursery policy that packed lunches will only be permitted after discussion with the manager. The children eating nursery food will have hot meals and dessert. Once you have opted for packed lunch you will be unable to change to nursery meals until the following term. Please see the manager for a change of meal form.
Staff have a duty to closely observe and supervise all children during lunch time according to the updated guidance (2025).
