We aim to make mealtimes calm, social and enjoyable. Children eat together in the nursery setting, supported by staff who ensure all welfare requirements are met. We offer a simple and flexible approach to lunchtime so families can choose what works best for them.
Lunchtime Options

Children attending full‑day sessions will need to bring a healthy packed lunch from home. We encourage families to follow our healthy eating guidance and avoid items such as fizzy drinks, sweets, or chocolate bars.
Cold School Meal (for eligible families)
Families who are eligible for Free School Meals have the option to order a school cold lunch. Please speak to a member of staff to arrange this.
