Healthy Eating
We are committed to a healthy eating policy at Scallywags. Meals are freshly cooked by a company called Bellisimo and delivered to site.
The menus rotate over a 3-week period and are reviewed twice a year by both us and Bellisimo.
The children eat a healthy, balanced diet. We also ensure that the children are offered the recommended 5+ pieces of fruit and vegetables each day.
- Special dietary requirements are catered for wherever possible. For further information, see our allergy management policy.
- Breakfast is served in the morning until 8:45am, Lunch is served at around 11:30am and the hot evening meal is served at 4pm.
- A combination of freshly made sandwiches, soups and pasta are served for lunch alongside veggie sticks.
- At 4pm the children eat a hot meal allowing parents the luxury of playing with their children before bed rather than cooking for them.
- Puddings offered at Scallywags are fruit and yoghurt.
- All children are offered a morning and afternoon snack inclusive of the choice of milk or water. Water is available throughout the day and offered to smaller children regularly.
- Small babies are cooked for separately and are gradually introduced to the main menu at the appropriate time with hot lunches being served until around the age of 12 months.
