School Meals & Healthy Eating
School meals
We believe that eating meals together is an important part of a child’s social development.
At school, we offer breakfast, a hot school lunch and tea. All meals are served ‘family style’. An adult sits at the table with the children, and they are encouraged to help each other; serving food and drinks.
Talking is encouraged to develop social interactions and turn taking.
Breakfast is cereal with milk, toast and spread and water or milk to drink.
A hot school meal is provided at a cost of £2.20 per day and consists of a main meal and dessert. Fresh fruit, yoghurt, salad and bread are all served daily.
A light tea is served for those children who stay until 5.00pm.
All hot meals are provided by our neighbouring school through the Heart Academy.
Healthy Eating and Oral Care
Our statement on our approach to meals and healthy eating is available here. This supports our participation in 'My Smile' dental programme.
At Cherry Trees Nursery School we have achieved the My Smile 2021-2023 Award.
