About this service

We provide support to schools to run a successful and affordable school breakfast provision until July 2025. The NSBP offer is available to all schools that have 40% or more children in IDACI bands A-F.

We are committed to supporting child development, and believe that a healthy school breakfast, without barrier or stigma, can set up children to succeed and give them the very best chance to learn.

Breakfast at home

In a normal school year, schools are open just over half the year (taking into account weekends and school holidays). This means even where breakfast is available within school, children are still having breakfast at home almost 50% of the time.

In this section you will find, tips, ideas, information, recipes, videos and quizzes to make breakfast time an easy part of your morning routine.
