This week at Cart Mill we have enjoyed having some of the parents and grandparents in for lunch with the children.

The children were able to show off their independence skills by serving their own lunches and were super helpers clearing up all the plates and dishes for their loved one.

Having lunch with your child at nursery can have lots of benefits:

• Emotional security and confidence – Seeing their parent/carer in the nursery can provide your child with security, value and make them feel safe.
• Stronger relationships – Shared mealtimes strengthen the parent-child bond in a familiar learning environment
• Positive role modelling – Children observe healthy eating habits, table manners and social interaction
