At Staghills Nursery School, we promote healthy eating. 

We encourage parents to send their child with a healthy lunch box and provide ideas for a healthy lunch box when a child starts nursery school. Healthy eating is alongside developing children's awareness of a healthy lifestyle which includes daily exercise and the importance of well-being.

Children are not given sweets or cake to eat in nursery school for a child's birthday. A child may bring these items in to nursery school as part of their celebration but these will be sent home with a note advising of the importance of brushing their teeth and having sweet food after a meal. Parents must let us know if they do not want their child to bring home 'birthday treats' brought in by another child.
