Sample Menu
Unless parents prefer to bring their own, meals will be provided for your child, so please keep us up-to-date with dietary requirements, allergies, etc.We will encourage healthy eating habits, taking into consideration the '5-a-day' guidelines, and limit foods/drinks with high fat, sugar and/or salt content.
Sometimes children may try to skip dinner and go straight to pudding.... We encourage them to eat healthy meals and will ask them to eat their dinner/sandwiches first. If that is unsuccessful they will get i.e. yoghurt and fruit - NOT biscuits, cake, jelly &/or ice-cream.
Light refreshments are provided during the course of the day, free of charge.
For example:
Fresh, dried or canned fruit;
Vegetable sticks;
Fruit or Cereal bar; Rice cakes;
Fruit juice (diluted for children under 5 years);
Milk.
Fresh water is always available and children are encouraged to help themselves.

JUST A NOTE ABOUT SWEETS AND CHOCOLATE!We consider these things treats for special occasions, now and then.
We would therefore appreciate it if these were not supplied in lunch/snack boxes.
- Children tend to ignore or refuse the healthy food available, if they know you have put 'yummies' in for them.
- It may cause jealousy amongst other children who will feel it is unfair that one child is allowed them, whilst they are not.
- It is simpler to have a no sweets rule - unless prior arrangement made for a special occasion, when everyone will share (and after they have eaten their meal)
! ABSOLUTELY NO CHEWING GUM or BUBBLE GUM ALLOWED !
