Lunch Club
We offer this very popular Lunch Club every day of the week. The children bring in their packed lunches and enjoy eating and socialising with their friends. This is also a really helpful step in getting your child ready for school. The Lunch Club is manned by our wonderful staff.
​
Lunch Club is available for children who are over 3 years old. For new starters we ask that children have 1-2 weeks to settle into their new routine at Meadow before staying for lunch.
​
Lunch Club runs for 45 minutes and is available whether you are attending a morning session, an afternoon session or full day. The fee for the Lunch Club is £5.50. You can read more about our fees here.
It’s important that children receive a healthy, well-balanced lunch. We do ask all children to sit down at a table for lunch and ask parents to kindly model this at home. Mealtimes are social occasions and a great opportunity for trying new foods, communicating with one another, learning how to use cutlery and the importance of manners.

​Lunch Club Rules:
- We operate a no nut policy at Meadow Nursery so please remember not to include food containing nuts in your child's packed lunch. This includes peanut butter, Nutella and pesto.
- We do not have the facilities to heat or reheat food.
- Small fruits - Cut small round fruits like grapes, cherries, berries, strawberries and cherry tomatoes, into small pieces: cut lengthways and then again cut them in halves (quarters).
- Large and firm fruits: Cut large fruits like melon and firm fruits like apple into slices instead of small chunks.
- Firm Vegetables - Cut vegetables like carrots, cucumber and celery into narrow batons.
- Sausages and Hot dogs - Cut sausages and hot dogs into short strips. Cut them in half and then lengthways or as thinly as possible.
- Meat and Fish: Remove bones from meat or fish. Cut meat into strips as thinly as possible.
