Matilda's montessori is pretty strict what we can bring & we have a listing they sent out for parents. Morning tea is fruit (there is a fruit list for her room due to allergies which is good because she's allergic to bananas) and vegetables (carrots/celery etc) which we supply 2 items of. Lunch needs to be not packaged & nut free. I make things like vegetable slice, sandwiches, vege muffins etc... and send snacks in a tupperware type container. So things like pita bread & hummos etc.... dried fruit. Afternoon tea is left over morning tea.

Parents supply everything, I've seen the teachers pull our LCM's and things like that out of the lunch box. We have to agree to birthday cakes etc. Matilda can't have them because of her milk allergy so I supply a snack when its a birthday. I love the fact that its this way because Matilda would eat all junk & she's a negotiator with food as well. This way Matilda actually eats something that is okay. Not always, she sometimes doesn't eat all her lunch, but thats okay too.
