Well-balanced meals are prepared by East Ayrshire Council. They include a vegetarian option and always cater for special dietary needs. Mealtimes are social occasions where children learn important skills. \u00a0We encourage children to lay tables, serve themselves food and pour water\/milk, and to clear away dishes afterwards. We have found that children are influenced by others to try new foods.\u00a0We never insist that children eat their lunch. They are encouraged to \u2018try just a little\u2019 of foods that are new to them.<\/p>\n

Children attending will receive a morning snack which includes fresh fruit and vegetables and a drink of milk or water and a 2 course lunch.<\/p>\n
