Healthy eating
It’s a well-known fact that your child’s diet has a direct impact on their development. Mealtimes are happy, social occasions for the children and staff and positive interactions are shared at these times.
At St Josephs, we are committed to offering children healthy, nutritious and balanced snacks. We are equipped to cater for a range of different dietary requirements to ensure any possible allergies are avoided.
Fresh drinking water, milk and fruit are available throughout the day.

Our snack range includes:
- Fresh Fruit
- Fresh Vegetables
- Crackers
- Humous
- Homemade soup
- Rice crackers
- Toast/ Crumpets
Meals at nursery
Lunch time meals are packed lunches. These are provided by the parents and guardians. We ask that a variety is provided in line with our healthy eating. We are proud to say we have our golden grin award here at St Josephs and understand the importance of a balance diet. For more information on healthy packed lunches click here.
