Sessions
The following sessions are available: 9am-12pm, 12.45pm-3.15pm.
If your child is at pre-school for lunch, they will need a packed lunch which we will keep in the fridge. We encourage healthy eating and ask parents to provide packed lunches that contain healthy options such as sandwiches, fruit and dairy products (eg cheese, yoghurts etc). We discourage lots of treats/sugary drinks. We do not permit nuts or nut based products in lunchboxes for safeguarding purposes.
The Pre-School provides a snack around 10.30am, when a variety of fruit, cheese and breadsticks are offered to the children with milk and/or water (as preferred by your child). We also stop for a drink break around 2pm. Fresh water is also available at all times – we have personalised drink bottles, which we ask your children to bring each day. If your child has any food allergies, please advise our staff so that we can ensure your child is kept safe.
