On arrival, during term time, the children are offered a healthy snack such as a cracker, rice cake or raisins. Between 4.15pm and 4.30pm The Dell aims to offer a high tea for children attending afternoon club.

Examples of our teas include;-

Pasta in tomato sauce

Wraps or pittas with a choice of healthy fillings

Sausage in a roll/sausage rolls

Beans on toast

Soup and roll

All teas are served with veg or salad

Children are encouraged to sit together and enjoy it in a meal format. And where we can the children can assist in the preparation and clearing away of our food/meal which may include washing up.

Sometimes children make a dessert ie cakes they have decorated or biscuits they have iced. We encourage children to drink water and fruit is offered each day between tea and dessert. The focus is on healthy eating and we chiise our menu from our children's preferences. We cater for a variety of dietary requirements which we invite parents to detail on their online registration form.

Holiday Club

During our holiday club, we offer an optional breakfast (at additional cost) with a choice of cereals or toast with spreads.

the children are served light snacks twice throughout the day between meals (rice cakes, fruit etc).

We expect parents to provide a packed lunch consisting of:

a sandwich or substantial carbohydrate,
at least one fruit or vegetable,
various other snacks of your choosing.

We ask that parents do not provide their children with fizzy drinks, or any high allergen food products (namely nuts). we also ask that parents consider choking hazards such as grapes, which should be cut in half from top to bottom .
