My baby has a proper dinner for tea at nursery at 4pm and I still offer something when we get home. Sometimes he will have what I have for dinner, sometimes porridge/yoghurt it really depends. And then a bottle just before bed also 😅
My kids have an afternoon snack at nursery too, ranging from crackers with cheese to soup with bread rolls and always with fruit on yoghurt. I always offer them a meal when they get home, we sit at the table usually 5-5.30pm and they eat what the want I dont force it, my 1yo will usually eat 1/2 and a small yoghurt, he will then have 5-6oz milk after his bath
We weren’t sure either so offered it anyway and he says all his tea with us (along with all the food nursery give) plus it’s nice to eat together Maybe offer and see if they’ll eat anything then gauge it from there
Sometimes it depends on if we're eating or if she seems hungry. If we're eating she'll generally sit with us and have a little something. They do have a meal at nursery around 3/4 and a snack too before pick up.
Thanks everyone, I think I'll offer her something. We won't be eating together because she'll need to eat as soon as we get in which is a shame, but on weekends we can eat together 😀
I normally offer my boy something, sometimes just some snacks, or a small hot meal, it depends on his mood if he eats anything or all of it but I always offer him something x
