Lunch time
Your child can be provided with a free school lunch. This can be ordered through your ‘SchoolPay’ account in advance. The menu varies each day.
Lunch options must be ordered via iPay by Wednesday at 12pm for the following week. We are required to submit the completed order by Thursday morning the next week. Please ensure you order for all five days of the week, entering ‘eating at home’ on the days that your child does not attend.
Thank you for your support with this. If you have issues with iPay, please contact the school office.
A link to ‘SchoolPay' will be shared with you once your child is enrolled in our school.

PACKED LUNCHES
Alternatively you may wish to send a named packed lunch from home. Only put in what you expect your child to eat rather than different choices. Adults will encourage the children to eat what is in their packed lunch. Please ensure there are no nuts or products containing nuts in your child’s lunch. We have a severe pineapple allergy within the setting, so we kindly ask that you do not provide any pineapple products.
In line with Elementary Food Hygiene and Cook Safe Policy, packed lunches must contain an ice pack to ensure lunches remain cool until the children have lunch.
You may receive a slip in your child’s packed lunch if your child brings a food item that would be considered a risk for example raw carrots, whole grapes etc.

The children are provided with a morning and an afternoon snack with milk or water are offered.
We have listened to your feedback and have now displayed the snack menu for the whole week. The children are involved in the full snack process from choosing food items from the choosing book, drawing or writing their ideas in the snack floorbook, helping to create the shopping list as well as preparing and helping to serve snack.
Snack time offers a wonderful and wide range of learning experiences.
Children will have the opportunity to:
learn independence skills
assess risks
learn to prepare snacks
learn about food from different countries and cultures
develop their fine motor skills
supports social and communication development
understand the journey of food from planting and growing
learn how to have a balanced, nutritional diet
have the opportunity to try a range of different foods with different tastes, textures and flavours to help increase varied accepted foods
We follow and adhere to the Care Inspectorate’s updated ‘Setting the Table’ guidance, so whilst we allow children to choose, we offer them a range of healthy and balanced snacks. If you’d like more information about ‘Setting the Table’ you can find it here.
The Care Inspectorate encourages all of our children to be provided with a healthy lunch. A few important points include chopping blueberries, quartering grapes and grating raw carrots to prevent choking. Apples should be peeled and sliced. This is how we present these food items during snack time and they should be prepared this way if your child brings a packed lunch to nursery.
