At Rowena we provide all children with a lunch each day, our lunch time runs from 11:30 to 12:30. We would also like to remined our afternoon children that they will be provided with a lunch as well which will be served from 13:15 to 13:45. If you need to collect your child during these times could you please call and let us know. Thank you.
At lunch times we have a rolling lunch which will promote children’s choice and independence choosing when to have lunch. Supporting children to make these decisions is all part of the process of enabling children to develop positive eating habits and building their autonomy. Staff will play a key role in role modelling and encouraging children to have lunch each day. We will promote a home like environment that is calming and nurturing with a self-service approach with the children developing their independence and self-help skills. This will also provide great opportunity for social interactions and develop positive relationships during rich and purposeful experiences.
