Snack and Mealtimes

We encourage children to develop an awareness of the need for a healthy balanced diet, with positive attitudes to foods. Dietary requirements for medical or ethical reasons are acknowledged and catered for with any food we provide. We also work in partnership with the school kitchen to ensure any food you choose to purchase from them meets your child’s requirements.

Breakfast

Children attending the breakfast session can choose from a selection of hot or cold cereals or toast, along with a glass of milk/ dairy alternative or water.

Snack

We provide a healthy snack to eat during our rolling snack time which always includes fresh fruit or vegetables- the children choose when to have this so their play is not interrupted. Milk, a dairy alternative or water is also provided.

We also regularly plan for specific snacks to enrich children’s experiences, such as trying new foods or preparing and cooking something for us to eat.

Lunchtime

Children attending during our lunchtime session sit together with the teachers to eat a packed lunch or school meal purchased from the Moorside Primary kitchen. Cooked meals are £2.40 and the current menu can be found here:
