School meals and breakfast clubs

Breakfast Club

Only some of the county's primary schools have a breakfast club. Contact your school for more information. 

There is a cost of £1 per child for the child care element before the breakfast club. You must pay £1 for your first and second child. There is a discount for families with 3 or more children in primary school.

£2 a day is the maximum a parent will pay.

You must book a space through your Cyngor Gwynedd on-line account.

 

Free school lunch
