LUNCH CLUB

Hardings Nursery & Pre-School regards snack time and lunch time as an important part of the Nursery/Pre-School day.  We will use the Lunch Club to help children to develop independence and social skills; by encouraging them to sit at a table, chat and have fun with their friends and staff while eating their lunch.  Staff will also help the children to develop good table manners and an understanding of healthy eating.  Lunch Club is a good preparation for older children who will be staying for lunch at nursery or primary school.

At the start of lunch club all children will be supervised to go to the toilet and wash their hands.  The children will then eat their packed lunches together around the tables with the staff.  Please send lunch in a named chilled lunch bag. The food will not be refrigerated at Nursery/Pre-School but will be placed in a designated area until lunch time.  The Nursery/Pre- School is not set up to reheat hot meals so please send a picnic style lunch.  To continue with Hardings Nursery & Pre-School healthy eating policy please supply your child with a healthy packed lunch - suggested contents are a sandwich/wrap/roll, Pasta, yoghurt, fruit and a drink/carton.

PLEASE DO NOT SUPPLY NUTS, NUT PRODUCTS OR CHOCOLATE SPREADS DUE TO RISK OF ALLERGIES.

There will be the opportunity for the children to play inside or outside once they have finished their lunch.
