Nursery Dinners

Nursery Meals (Debbie's Dinners)
Delicious dinners prepared onsite by our talented chef Debbie cost £2.50 per day for a 2 course meal. They are always a favourite with the children.
We encourage all children to have a healthy and nutritional meal at lunchtime, as well as a snack with a drink during morning and afternoon break.
Children have the option to bring a packed lunch if preferred.
