Menu/Snacks/Nutrition
Mealtimes at Tinywoods are a sociable event where children are encouraged to speak and engage with one another, including staff members, who will regularly join in to enhance conversations. Good manners and self-help skills are promoted for all age groups. Children will eat in small groups, with fresh water and milk provided for morning and afternoon snacks.
Fresh, healthy food is provided daily courtesy of the chef at Lightwoods Primary Academy. We ensure that there is fresh fruit and vegetables on offer each day, with children encouraged to eat meals when offered. Deserts are also provided after lunch and will generally be low sugar options.
We cater for all food requirements, whether these are dietary, for religious purposes or the parent’s/carer’s wishes. However, we do not provide Halal meat, so children who require this will be offered a vegetarian option.
Parents are offered a choice of a hot school meal daily, (at a small additional fee of £2 per day) or to provide a healthy packed lunch for their child. For safety reasons, we highlight that we are not to have nuts/ nut products in packed lunches.
