Joanne Edwards -> Menu

I am happy for parents to supply meals and drinks for their child/children, and I have a separate fridge to store lunch boxes and bottles safely. However if you would find it easier I am happy to provide meals for a nominal fee.

PRICES

    Lunch £1.50
    Evening Meal £1.50

Snacks in the morning and afternoon are provided within the cost of child care however if you prefer to supply these yourself please let me know.

It is also important for you to let me know if your child has any food allergies or dietary restrictions. This is important not only for meal times but also for cooking activities.

All children have food that they dislike and I do try to take this into consideration when planning my weekly menus. I do however actively encourage children to try new foods and if they don’t like it I will offer a healthy alterative. I will never pressure a child to eat something they don’t want, however in my experience I have found when a group of children are sat around a table together they do encourage each other to try new things. As parents we all want our children to eat a healthy, varied and balanced diet. I feel I provide this. I also try to encourage the children to make healthy choices themselves.

Meal Times

These times may vary depending on any after school activities the children have. They are also more flexible during the school holidays.
