Snack
Milk and water are available each day for children at Nursery. Fruit and dry snacks are also shared with the children during their session time. We do ask for a contribution of 50p per child per week towards this and an invoice will be sent on a termly basis. Alternatively, cash can be brought into the office weekly.
Lunchtime
Lunchtime is between 1130-1230hrs. If your child is bringing a packed lunch, please write their name clearly on their lunchbox to avoid confusion. In the warmer months, please include an ice-pack as, unfortunately, we cannot store packed lunches in a refrigerator.
Chocolate bars, sweets and fizzy or energy drinks are not permitted in lunch boxes and will either be disposed of or returned to the parent at the end of the session.
A hot school dinner can be ordered for your child at an additional cost of £2.50 which must be ordered and paid for in advance. Please see below for the menu.
PLEASE READ - Hot Dinner Debt Policy
Food Tasting
During your child's time at nursery they will have the opportunity to take part in food preparation and tasting activities. This may be due to a topic or a theme or appreciating other cultures. We ask for your permission to do this on our Nursery Application Form.
Allergies
We would like to advise you of our current allergy restrictions:
- Nuts - Nuts must not be brought into nursery due to children and staff suffering with a severe nut allergy. This applies to hazelnut spread, ie. Nutella.
- Egg - Egg in its natural form must not be brought into nursery due to children suffering from severe allergies. This means egg sandwiches, boiled eggs, Scotch eggs, savoury eggs and homemade quiche.
- Coconut - Coconut in its natural form must not be brought into nursery due to children suffering from severe allergies. Please also check that any sun cream you provide to the nursery for your child is free from coconut.
If your child suffers or has recently been diagnosed with a food allergy, please advise us as soon as possible.
