We welcome suggestions on how to improve our nursery and will give serious attention to any concerns raised.

A healthy lunch at nursery gives children energy to learn and play. Packing a nutritious lunch helps your child to eat well and influences their future eating habits. Involving your child in planning, shopping for and preparing their lunchbox develops their ability to make healthy choices and enjoy good food.

Ideally your child’s lunch box would include:

• A lean protein food such as: tuna or salmon, boiled eggs or lean meats such as chicken or beef. Vegetable protein sources can include tofu, nuts (we allow nuts at nursery unless a child has an allergy in which case we are not able to permit these) and legumes/beans.
• A carbohydrate food such as: bread, rice or rice cakes, potatoes, plain popcorn and pasta. 
• Fruits and vegetables such as: whole or chopped fruit, raw vegetables such as carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, canned fruit in natural juice, a small salad, and dried fruit such as raisins 
• A dairy product such as: yogurt or cheese
• A bottle of tap water. Please note we do not recommend sweetened drinks such as juice or cordial, and we do not allow fizzy drinks.
• We do allow the children to bring in a small treat for after lunch such as a chocolate bar, cake or biscuit, but please do not send in sweets. 

We will send home any waste so you can see what has been eaten. For further lunch box ideas please see www.eatwell.gov.uk

Hot dinners are available daily to buy for children in the Nursery.  For more information about this, please visit the main school website.
