When parents bring children to the setting, staff obtain information about children's individual needs before they start each day. The setting is partnered with a charitable organisation who focus on reducing food waste. They deliver food to the club, which staff give to parents to take home. This includes food and recipes for parents to use at home to cook meals with their children. This helps to support children's good health and well-being.
