Food info from our Handbook
Early Learning and Childcare Meals
Health and Wellbeing is a large part of the ELC experience, and includes access to milk, a healthy snack and meal time provision. We are committed to providing healthy, nutritious, good value meal options to children in our Early Learning and Childcare Settings. If your child is in ELC for more than four hours and over a lunch period they are entitled to a funded nursery lunch.
Our ELC lunch offer is a two course menu with a main meal, and will be either a starter and a main course, or a main course and a dessert. The menu runs on a four week cycle so that there is plenty of choice for children.
Our ELC menus comply with the Scottish Government’s guidance, Setting the Table. In this document there is guidance on healthy snack options, meal planners and foods that are not acceptable for inclusion in provision, as well as other helpful guidance. Click here to access this document
Allergy information for our school menus is available online and in each school kitchen. You can find out the allergens contained in every dish, and by clicking on the links for each meal you can also find out the recipe used, full ingredients and nutritional information. These are available via https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/primary-school-meals-menu. If your child has a food allergy, please contact the school office in the first instance so that any necessary arrangements can be put in place.
A vegetarian meal option is available every day, and many dishes can be altered to accommodate other special diets where this is required. Where possible, other non-medical special diets may be accommodated; please contact the Food and Nutrition Officer for more information.
