At Cherrytree we encourage children to eat a healthy diet and during the morning a healthy snack and a drink of milk or water are provided.

All children staying after 11:30am need to bring a packed lunch, with a drink.  You are also welcome to provide a named bottle of water for your child to drink during the day. This is particularly important on hotter days.

We request that no sweets, chocolate or fizzy drinks are packed, to conform with the Governments healthy eating initiative and other children’s allergies. 

For healthy ideas for your child’s lunchbox, please visit our useful links page, or ask us for a leaflet.  Alternatively, we have come up with some of our own suggestions.  Click here for lunchbox ideas.

We are not able to refrigerate lunchboxes, so please supply a suitable container and ice pack if you feel it necessary, throughout the year.

If you wish your child to clean their teeth and/or wash their faces after lunch, please put a named toothbrush and/or flannel in their lunchbox. 

Medical, cultural and dietary needs will be met on request.
