Nurture lunchtimes provide a calm and supportive space where children can feel relaxed and secure during what can often be a busy part of the day.

In this smaller setting, children are encouraged to build positive relationships, practise good manners and develop confidence in social situations. Staff gently support conversations, turn-taking and cooperation, helping children feel included and understood.

Children also have the opportunity to enjoy their lunch outdoors, benefiting from fresh air and a more relaxed environment, which can further support their wellbeing. These structured, nurturing experiences promote a sense of belonging and ensure that every child feels happy, settled, and ready to return to learning in the afternoon.
