Food at Nursery

Within our nurseries we offer breakfast, morning snack, afternoon snack & high tea to our children (examples below). This food is included within our daily fees for all year-round places, we do charge an additional fee for food to term time only places (please see our fees page).

Cows milk is provided free of charge to all children (we will adhere to any allergy requests).

We offer a hot meal through an outside catering company, served by our Castle team for an extra charge (please see our fees page). Our menu rota is available on our notice boards and an example menu can be seen here.  As an alternative, you are welcome to provide a packed lunch and daily snacks for your child.
