Meals

cutecolorsfee5I regard snack and meal times as a very important part of the day. Eating represents a social time for children and adults and helps children to learn about healthy eating.

I provide nutritious food at all meals avoiding large quantities of fat, sugar, salt, artificial additives, preservatives and colourings. My aim is to provide children with a healthy, balanced and tasty diet using a variety of colours, textures, tastes and also foods from different cultures. I am willing to puree food for babies but bottles must be provided from home.

If your child has any dietary needs this can be discussed and catered for. Parents will be advised if
I have any concerns about children’s eating habits and I will work with parents to supply food that the child likes.

Depending on what time of day your child arrives and if it has been agreed that I provide meals for your child, I can provide Breakfast and Lunch, with snacks in between. I no longer provide evening meals, due to time restrictions.

Breakfast 8:00 am

Morning Snack 10.30 am

Lunch 12:30 – 1.30 pm

Afternoon Snack 3.30 pm


All children are provided with milk, water or sugar free fruit juice to drink freely throughout the day.


The children will all sit together to eat and are encouraged to use good manners whilst eating such as not speaking with food in their mouths, using knives, forks, spoons correctly, sitting nicely at the table and not messing around
whilst eating etc. Children will also be encouraged to help out at meal times like laying the table and helping to prepare simple foods such as sandwiches and salads.

Breakfast –
Cereals with hot or cold milk, toasts with various spreads: butter, jam, marmalade or soft cheese

Lunches - Baked Potato with various fillings, coleslaw, tuna, beans

Macaroni Cheese with side salad

Fish fingers, chips and spaghetti hoops

Bacon and mushroom pasta

Homemade soup, broth or potato and leek, served with bread

Selection of sandwiches, ham, egg, tuna, salad

Roast pork/beef with new potatoes and sweetcorn

Also served after is Rice Pudding, Yoghurts, Jelly, Tinned fruit with ice cream or custard

Snacks – Bread with various spreads: soft cheese, jam, marmalade, crackers and cheese, fruit/veg sticks, Crisps or savoury biscuits and drinks

This is just a rough idea of what I give the children, and it will vary from week to week.
