In the nursery we see meal times as a great opportunity to build on relationships, communication and independence skills. We strive to provide a calm nurturing and unhurried environment where each child is given agency and each child’s developing skills and independence is nurtured.  

Rituals at meal times provide a sense of calm and have an understanding of how things work here so tamariki can feel comfortable with routines, customs and regular events. Teachers, whenever possible role model healthy eating and share stories.  

Different settings provide different sensory experiences and help tamariki further build on their knowledge of the wider world. Having picnics outside provide great social opportunities.
