Meals at nursery

Depends on the time my LB wakes up I usually have to wake him. But the odd occasion he has had a first breakfast at home and another at nursery. Our nursery tea time is 15:30 so he gets picked up around 5 and has snacks/second tea at home before bed. They also do a snack in the morning around 10 not sure about afternoon snack they’ve never mentioned it I know they do a cup of milk

My little girls last meal is 3.30 and we only give her a snack when she comes home. I usually picked her up at 5, she will come home, have a snack then a 7oz bottle at 6.45. She seems to fine x

We give ours some milk still in the morning. And tea at nursery are usually like sandwich or bagel or some sort of lighter mains, so we still offer dinner at home. But if she doesn't eat, it is fine.

When she was very little I used to offer milk in the morning. Now she occasionally have a breadstick or something if she is wakes up too early. For dinner we always have a second one at home and she never refuses it.

My children's nursery also offers 2 snacks as well as breakfast, lunch and tea. For breakfast they are offered cereals, porridge, etc. their lunch is usually like a dinner so things like Thai curry, spag Bol, pasta bake, etc. with a little pudding and their tea is things like pizza, rice, etc. their morning snack is usually something fruit/veg and their afternoon snack can be anything like crackers, breadsticks, pitta strips, etc. I usually give my little ones something small like Greek yogurt or some fruit before we leave and when we get back I'll offer something like crackers or toast... if they don't eat too well then I'll offer something better x

My daughters nursery is similar meal timings plus 1 or 2 snacks and she has a bottle of milk before a nap. Pre-nursery breakfast depends on what time she wakes up; if she wakes at 6am ish I give her breakfast, if she wakes 6.30 or after I’ll give her some milk and an oat bar snack. After nursery she is usually knackered because she barely sleeps there, so we typically start bedtime by about 5.30pm which involves a 7oz bottle of milk.

My boy has a bottle at 6:30 then nursery until 6 , he will then have a proper meal when he gets home as the final meal is small at nursery

My son’s nursery does snacks after breakfast and lunch. Also he has dinner when he gets home. Other mums told me their kids have a snack after nursery and that’s it for the night it just varies child to child.

My LO has a first breakfast before he goes, then has a snack when he gets home (about an hour after he’s had tea at nursery) and then has dinner with us at about 5.30..no idea where he puts it all as he’s slim.

My LGs is around the same normally would have a snack/supper after we got home from nursery, Depending when you collect we get our lg at 6 so normally they have a snack in between the time from tea to pick up x

We give food in the morning and dinner at night. The portions aren’t huge and their tea is very light.

We still offer dinner at home. Tea at nursery often isn’t a sufficient meal however if she ever eats most or all of what they give at tea time then my expectation is that she won’t eat lots of dinner but we still offer it

I find he gets enough there with mid morning and afternoon snacks too. On his notes it also always says he asks for more 😂 to which they oblige

My son's 2.5 and has been going up nurse since he was 10 months. In the last month or two he's needed a first breakfast, just a banana or something - drop offs have been much better since we did this He's always had some of our evening meal once he's home, their dinner at nursery is more of a snack

My boy eats huge amounts of food, so yes he tends to have a first breakfast before we leave for nursery and a second tea when we eat at 6pm. They have their tea at 3pm so it’s crazy for them to have to go that long until the next day.
