Little one starting school in September? ⬇️

New school. The big hall. Different meals. Here’s our top tips for how to get your school starter ‘lunchtime ready’!

1. Talk to your child about the menu choices for the day and offer support beforehand so they feel confident when choosing their meal. “You often enjoy that at Grandma’s house.” “Remember when we ate that at the restaurant?” “That’s your favourite!” Refrain from negative comments about any dishes and hopefully your little one will try them all eventually! Carry the conversation on after school and praise them when they’ve tried something new.

2. Carrying a plate or tray for the first time can be daunting for little ones but you can prepare them at home. First, practise moving around a room with an empty, plastic plate. Then add a toy to the plate and practise keeping it still. Finally, when you’re feeling brave, add some food and cutlery until your little one feels confident.

3. Although there’s usually additional adult support, it will make your little one’s lunchtime smoother if they can cut up their own food. Give opportunities at the dinner table. Pop your hand over theirs when cutting so they know how it should feel and give them metal cutlery if you don’t already. Our Kiddies Food Kutter is great for promoting independence at mealtimes as it uses the forward and backward motion needed for cutting up food.

4. There’s no better time than the present to encourage your little one to clean up after eating. In most schools the expectation is that the children ‘scrape’ any leftover food from their plate or tray into a bin. Provide a low, accessible bin and give them a go! Expect a few misses and a little mess but if you start now, they’ll be streets ahead by September.

5. There’s nothing worse than picking up your little sweetheart from school with food smeared all over their face from lunch three hours ago 😬 Practising wiping their OWN mouth/ face is an important part of self care. Practise using a mirror and wetting a small facecloth or kitchen roll to clean up any foodie chops.

And just like that, your little one is ready for their school foodie journey!

🎉 SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER! 🎉

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us this year- schools, families, children, other businesses and of course our own families ❤️ It’s no mean feat running a small business but we’re forever grateful to everyone who comes to a class, chooses us to celebrate a special occasion, welcomes us into their school and recommends us 🙌🏼 I’ve picked some pics from throughout the year, not highlights just pics that caught my eye- the smiles, the fun, the love. Enjoy the break everyone!

Thank you to Emma for being the best colleague and friend I could wish for and allllllll the laughs along the way, you’re incredible!

Here’s to the summer and 6 weeks with my own little munchkins! It doesn’t get better than this ❤️

Emma’s SUMMER SPECIALS have just gone on sale, be quick, you know they never last long!

A HUGE well done and thank you to everyone who came to say hi today as part of Ryton Nursery end of year celebrations 🎉 What an afternoon! Outdoors and sunshine (even if it was 🥵), so many gorgeous activities, family and Strawberry Granola Pots *courtesy of us!

This is the third year we’ve been invited along to celebrate and it’s honestly the most perfect way to end the year, not just for the gorgeous community that is Ryton Nursery but for me too! I met so many lovely children and their grown ups today and everyone was so friendly and welcoming!

Enjoy your summer! And thank you to infants for having me!

Last ASC of the year for this gorgeous lot!

I’ve ran our ASC at Richard Coates for 2 years now and some of the chefs you see in these photos (in fact more than half of them!) have been cooking with me for the duration! I’ll never not be grateful for our families choosing us term after term, year after year. For putting your trust in us, handing over your hard earned cash and just getting what we’re about. We get to work with some of the most incredible children and it honestly feels like the best job in the world. THANK YOU!

This term we handed the recipe line up over to the kids, where they had the chance to choose their favourite recipes and either make them for the second time this year or in some cases, give me the task of designing a whole new recipe! (sushi!) Jam Tarts (thankfully a repeat!) was on the menu this afternoon and this lot made making shortcrust pastry from scratch look like child’s play! Well done everyone, have the most amazing summer and see you all in September!

Alexa, add sushi rice and seaweed sheets to our shopping list.

We LOVE a challenge and our top tasters at Richard Coates ASC have certainly put me to the test this term with their summer term takeover where they’ve chosen their very own recipe line up 😅 When they asked for Sushi, I knew it was something I’d have to work on because even though we have over 150 tried and tested TT recipes which we’ve devised over the past 9 years, Sushi was not one of them…until now!

If I’m honest, it hasn’t even been something I’ve made with my own kids at home. Even though we all love sushi, it’s always shop bought or from a restaurant. I thought it was fiddly for little fingers and potentially too tricky to make- turns out it’s neither and we’re gona be eating this on repeat this summer, made courtesy of the kids! 😂

I might do a step by step post in pics, showing you all how easy it is??? Let me know if you’re interested 😊

Well done to our chefs for knowing what they like, having the confidence to try it and making sure they get it 💪🏼 *and for some fantastic firm but gentle rolling skills and great teamwork as always 👏
