The Little School Room has menus that are adapted depending on what
stage of weaning your child is at. For example-babies just being weaned may
only have one meal a day, such as a vegetable puree with baby rice, then slowly
they will build up to having three meals a day.
As they get older the textures of the food
becomes coarser, teaching them to chew. Finger foods are then introduced, and
eventually they will be eating the same meals as the older children.

Breakfast: This will consist of an array of organic cereals, as well
as fresh fruit juices, yoghurts, fruit, toast and toppings, porridge, eggs etc.

A weekly menu will always be on display in each classroom, and your
child’s level of consumption noted!
Your child will never be forced to eat anything that they do not want
but gentle encourage to try different tastes will always be on hand, our staff
join the children for lunch to help encourage the correct use of utensils and
social etiquette! The classroom will sit and eat together, and quite often the
children will encourage each other too, if your child’s friend is happily
tucking into broccoli, they will usually try it too!
All allergies and vegetarians are catered for as well.
