Children's nutrition

Meals

What we put in their mouths is as important as what we put in their minds. We aim to provide a healthy and well balanced diet for your child. All the food is cooked on the premises and fresh ingredients are sourced locally. Mealtimes are a time when adults and children eat together in a relaxed and calm atmosphere.

On arrival at the breakfast club, each morning your child will be offered a light breakfast of cereal, toast and fruit with a choice of spread and water or milk. Throughout the morning fresh fruit and drinks are available. Snack time is at 10.00 am..

We offer lunch at 12 noon which consists of a main course and a pudding. The menu is planned in advance for 4 weeks and a sample can be found here. Afternoon snacks are served at 2.00 pm and this is followed two course tea at 4.00 pm.
