Meals
Properly organised meal and snack times are used as learning experience. These are all incorporated into the daily routine. Our children sitting in small groups with key persons at laid tables are helped along with table manners and general knowledge regarding food and hygiene.
All meals are prepared at our premises by our cook and consist of three varied nutritionally balanced meals a day. Breakfast consists of milk or a milky drink and cereal or toast. A hot lunch is served followed by dessert. Our afternoon tea consists of fresh fruit, a variety of sandwiches and/or soup, with juice, hot dogs etc. Every child has access to fruit and healthy snacks and water is provided at all times.
The menu for the week is displayed in the nursery. Parents are asked to check this as our menu tends to vary in accordance with the season.
If your child is full time and will be arriving late for any reason, we ask that you inform the nursery before 9.30 a.m. This will enable us to inform our cook that your child may be included on the list for meals for that day.
Parents whose children are on formula milk will have to supply the particular brand needed until the child is on school meals.
Children are not allowed to bring sweets or other confectionery with them into the nursery. Good oral hygiene is encouraged and our children are taught to clean their teeth after every meal and to wash their hands before and after meals.
