Market Lane Early Learning Centre provides nutritious snacks morning and afternoon, and cooked lunch midday. It is essential that we are made aware of any food allergies or any food restrictions for religious reason. We will attempt to provide alternate foods when necessary. Please be sure to discuss this with the Centre Supervisor before your child is admitted to Market Lane Daycare. Please do not bring any outside foods into the centre unless approved by supervisor, as there may be staff, children or parents with life threatening allergies.
