Is this ok for a packed lunch/snacks?

I provide food for my daughter when she is at her childminders and it is always a variation of this. The bottom layer may be things like a sandwich, pin wheels or fritatta but rarely anything else, and always with cucumber sticks/olives/cherry tomatos. Middle is always fruit, and then bread sticks/malt loaf/crackers/brioche etc. Top is always a yoghurt and some sort of biscuit thing. Firstly is this too much/not enough for lunch and 2 snacks? Secondly, do you have any ideas of anything else I could send. On one hand I think it's quite varied, but I've just got in to such of pattern of what goes in I'm worried about it getting boring. Thank you!

I think it looks really good. I also make savoury muffins for my son which he likes. Snack could be homemade savoury/sweet muffin (with fruit, no sugar added), breadsticks and cream cheese, cracker and cheese, babybel, fruit, rice cakes, some leftover peas/sweetcorn, plain scone with butter. Lunch is usually leftovers from dinner the night before or soup and bread/sandwich/toast with beans. Yours looks really good though. Must be so difficult to try and provide lunch every day x

Looks amazing. I would lose the plot if I had to prepare food for my LO for nursery every day!

my little girl must eat about 100 of those oaty bars a day!🤣 i think this looks great! you could have a look on tiktok if you use it, there’s so many baby led weaning recipes, i love @moonandrue x

@Hannah Thank you, there are some good ideas there. It is! At home I would just make something, not worrying about how to pack it in the lunch box or heating it up etc. I find it much harder to pack something for her to take x

@Sidney Same, my little one loves them! Thank you, I will take a look

I would be so happy if this was my lunch each day!

Looks really good I think. My son would definitely eat more for one meal and a snack but he eats a lot so not a good one to compare to 😅. Have a look on tiktok/instagram for more ideas, my son really likes feedingtinybellies recipes, I almost give him all homemade snacks recently and it saves money too
