School Meal and Dinner Money Information for 30 Hour Nursery Pupils

If your child has any food allergies or intolerances, you must contact the school office and ask to make an appointment with the school cook before school meals can be provided.

From September 2025 the cost of Nursery meals is £2.55 per day (£12.75 per week). If possible, dinner money should be paid monthly in advance (£51 for 4 weeks), or at least weekly in advance. Payments are made through Arbor>Accounts>Meals. If you experience any difficulty paying through Arbor, please contact the school office for assistance.

If your child will not be having a school meal on a particular day, for example if an appointment has been arranged for late morning or lunchtime, please notify the office before 9:30am otherwise you may still be charged.

To change your child’s meal preference, please inform the office in advance via email.

If your child’s dinner money account is in arrears, you will receive a reminder from the school office. Should the account reach two weeks in arrears, the school kitchen will no longer be able to provide meals for your child and your child will be required to bring a packed lunch. If you wish your child to return to school meals after the debt is cleared, please email westgarthoffice@westgarthprimary.co.uk, with one week’s notice.

Packed Lunches

We do have children and adults in school with nut allergies that could result in anaphylactic shock. It is very important that children and adults do not bring nuts or nut products into school. Your support with this is vital, and greatly appreciated.

We request that packed lunches are in a suitable, labelled container and that glass bottles, sweets and chocolate are not brought into school. Sports bottles should have the plastic covering caps removed before being brought to school.

To change your child’s meal preference, please inform the office via email with at least one week’s notice.

Even if your child is on packed lunches but you think they may be entitled to Free School Meals you can check and apply online.
