Lunch Club
Our lunch club sessions are held between 11.45am and 12.45pm at a cost of £2.00, with parents providing their child with a packed lunch.
The emphasis of our lunch club is to promote healthy eating, educating the children on the importance of washing their hands before eating, and promoting good table manners in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.
Once the children are settled they are given half an hour to eat their food, with the remaining time being spent on quiet play or watching a DVD.
All children eat at different paces and therefore to enable the children to finish eating their packed lunch, we ask parents/carers to provide a realsitic portion of food to eat in their lunch boxes for the time provided.
The children will encouraged to eat their food in a particular order, for example sandwiches, dairy, fruit and then treats such as cereal bars and chocolate biscuits.
As part of our healthy eating philosophy we provide milk or water as drinking options at snack times and children have access to drinking water at all other times in the day.
When choosing a drink for a lunch box we recommend fresh juice, sugar free cordials or squash. We would appreciate it if children are not provided with fizzy drinks.
