Lunches
Lunches are brought to the nursery from Blairdardie Primary School kitchen. Every day the children have two choices of main meals. The children have healthy choices such as fish, baked potatoes, pasta and rice dishes. If your child has lunch you will be provided with a meal plan to ensure you know what your child is offered for lunch. During enrolment a member of the management team will take a note of any dietary requirements.
Snacks
During the morning and afternoon sessions the children are offered a drink of milk or water, a selection of fruit/cereal and sometimes a slice of toast or a sandwich. The nursery operates a healthy eating policy. We supply fruit to encourage the children to eat the recommended five fruit or vegetable portions a day.
