Food That Fuels Happy, Healthy Children

At Hopscotch, we know food is more than fuel — it’s a building block for lifelong health, happiness, and learning. The choices children make now shape their well-being for years to come, so we make every mealtime count.

We start every day with a healthy breakfast of cereal and organic milk, followed by fruit and savoury snacks throughout the day. For our tiniest Hopscotchers, we provide Tommee Tippee bottles and Aptamil formula milk free of charge — because supporting parents matters to us as much as supporting children.

Packed Lunches: Your Choice, Your Way

Family budgets are tight, and we get it. That’s why we proudly offer one of the few remaining options for parents to bring their own packed lunches. You decide what’s best for your child, and we’ll keep it safe and serve it with care.

A healthy packed lunch might include a sandwich, fruit, yoghurt, and a cereal bar — or you can send in your own homemade meals, soups, or even a favourite tin to be warmed up.

Catered Lunches and Teas

Prefer a hot meal? We’ve partnered with Little Tums, a trusted children’s catering specialist, to provide freshly prepared lunches and teas. Their meals are cooked from scratch, carefully avoiding ultra-processed foods, and are available in a range of options — standard, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, no pork, and no beef.

Meals are £4.16 per day. To sign up, simply speak to your Nursery Manager and we’ll get you set up.

Food is Fun

Food is an adventure at Hopscotch! From world food tasting sessions to smoothie-making and cake-baking, we turn mealtimes into moments of discovery. We even invite chefs and bakers to visit, sparking children’s curiosity and inspiring little culinary minds.

Allergy and Safety

Every child’s safety is our top priority. We operate a strict no-nuts policy across all our nurseries and follow a robust Food Safety Management System developed with leading food safety experts. Our staff receive specialist training to keep children with allergies safe, and we work closely with families to put personalised measures in place.
