Dining and Nutrition

At Rainbow Montessori Nursery School, we believe that mealtimes should be an integral part of the day where tables are laid and food is enjoyed at a leisurely pace. We promote table manners, cutlery skills and independence. We serve breakfast, a two course lunch, a light tea, morning snack and afternoon snack.  All dietary requirements are accounted for as required. From the age of 12 months, children use real crockery, glass and cutlery. And from age 2, they pour their own drinks from jugs and clear their own plates away. We also take part in cookery and the children participate in snack preparation.
