A Healthy Packed Lunch
Please bring a packed lunch in a named lunch box for your child.
We would like to offer the following guidelines for a healthier packed lunch:
- We don’t have anywhere to keep lunches cool, so please keep this in mind.
- We cannot heat up food brought from home.
- We provide water for all our children so you do not need to provide a drink.
- If you provide grapes, please cut them in half lengthways, as whole grapes are a choking risk for small children.
- Please avoid anything with nuts. Some children can have a severe reaction to nuts.
- Staff will remove any chocolate, cakes, sweets, biscuits, juice and fizzy drinks etc from your child’s packed lunch and will return them to you at the end of the day.
