Other comments from Parents |
|
-I do not like sandwiches on the menu as I expect my child to have had a hot meal as he may not get one in the evening.
-Taste sessions might help the younger children try food that they are not sure of so that when it comes to lunch they will know if they like the options and know what to choose.
-The menu is not always on the website.
-My daughter is forced to eat more than she wants so has a packed lunch.
-I am happy with the variety on the menu.
-My daughter is happy with her school lunch and the selection
-Often my child does not get an option as there is nothing left.
-I have nothing but respect for the lunch staff. My daughter struggles with dinners and they responded to my feedback so well, I now have a happy little girl. Great job ladies.
-My child struggles telling the ladies what he would like so I think an option to pre select would help as it would also prevent the problem of running out of what the children like
-I am not pleased that the choices run out and that my child gets no choice.
-I would like feedback if my child doesn’t eat.
-We are grateful for the hard work everyone does and we enjoy the lunches we are invited to.
-We’re impressed with the current variety of choices each day. We hope the healthy choices continue.
-If seconds happened it would need monitoring, maybe limit the number of seconds a week.
-The amount for the little ones is ok but the older children should have more.
-Minimise the amount of processed food.
-More jacket potatoes as my child rarely gets one as they have run out.
-I would like parents tasting sessions.
-My son is happy with his school meals.
-My children enjoy their lunch and will excitedly tell me what they had each day.
-We are happy with the variety on the current menu.
-More healthy, no chips and burgers.
-There should be more freedom to make choice for the children.
-I would rather there was not sandwich option as I pay for a lunch and want him to have a cooked lunch, I can provide sandwiches.
-It would be great to add some international food sometimes, like veg and lentil curry with naan bread.
-I would like to see soup added and nothing that if cooked in oil.
-School dinners are helping my child to like more healthy options.
-I appreciate that you have a variety and give the children choice.
-My children worry, if they only like one thing and it runs out they get something they don’t like and go hungry.
-I think you have good options but maybe less pasta dishes or more variety.
-The menu is really good, maybe more and new dishes. My children eat on Fridays but would like for them to have more often.
-I think sandwiches are a good option if there is nothing else the children like on the menu.
-I think the current menu is very good but my son often says he doesn’t get what he wants. I am not sure if this is because he is misheard or because there is non left.
-I would like to have the chance to make the selections at home with my child as she can never remember what she has eaten. I would like to know what she is eating.
-My child is always happy with the choices on offer.
-I feel that at least reception children should pre order food with their parents. We found our child was too shy to ask what something was or what was in it so always had jacket, even if he didn’t want it. Because of this we went back to giving him a pack up everyday.
-All options should be available to all children as my children come home saying they did not get what they liked because it had all gone.
-I am happy with the school lunches and like the idea of a salad bar.
