Children can also of course enjoy the fun activities whilst wearing their normal, regular nursery clothes or uniform.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Menu Change and Theme Day<br \/>\n<\/strong>Please see the new <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/er\/public\/sandnc\/uploads\/sites\/18531\/2024\/11\/03200334\/Nursery-Lunch-Menu_24%EF%80%A225.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">menu<\/a> for this session.<\/p>\n<p>Please also see our planned menu change for next Thursday 31st October. The allergy information is included to enable your child to select a suitable option. However, if you require further allergy or dietary information, please contact your catering team via the school office. If you have completed a lifestyle meal request form a suitable alternative will be provided.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toys from Home<br \/>\n<\/strong>We would ask that children keep their own toys safely at home. Recently we\u2019ve had a few children bringing toys to show friends, there have been tears and they\u2019ve been asked to put their toys in their bag. We really don\u2019t want children\u2019s precious toys becoming damaged or lost so would ask children to play with nursery toys in nursery and their own toys at home if at all possible. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An important message from ERC\u2019s Catering Department<br \/>\nChanges to Allergy Procedures<br \/>\n<\/strong>Due to an increase in the complexity of special dietary requirements and to ensure the safety of all ERC children with allergies, regrettably, the catering department are currently unable to provide a flexible approach to some of our young people&#8217;s diets therefore allergies will be dealt with on an all or nothing basis e.g. if you&#8217;re child has an egg allergy they will not be provided with any item on the menu which contains egg including egg baked\/cooked through items.
