Lunch
We generally serve hot lunches for most of the year.
For weaning babies we serve homemade baby / finger food in line with their stage / diet.
For toddlers we set out a buffet style table for the children to help themselves (with encouragement of course!) to what they would like.
This often helps the children to try new things as they see their friends enjoying them.
An example of a lunch menu for the week would be:
Monday – Sausage Casserole
Tuesday – Cheesy Broccoli Pasta
Wednesday – Vegetable Chlli Con Carne
Thursday – Cheese & Ham Pinwheels
Friday – Fish Pie
All lunches would be served with a variety of salad / vegetables cut into bite size pieces.
Dessert is usually fruit or yoghurt or fruit puree.
We don’t serve chocolate, sweets, biscuits, squash, juice or fizzy drinks. We may have some cake or biscuits if we have made them and we do like the odd ice cream in the summer!
As you can see we serve healthy food and try to encourage the children to try new things and make healthy choices.
We are interested in what your child likes to eat and will ask you to fill out a favourite foods form so we can serve what they like and encourage them to try new things.
Drinks served:
Water
Whole milk
Formula milk / follow on milk of parent’s choice
