It depends what time they had tea also. The nursery in putting my 1 year old in gives tea at 3pm which is really early so I plan on feeding him again around 5:30/6 once he starts
My son's 3 now but at that age he would get dinner at 5pm at nursery and then at 6:30 I'd just put some of what I was eating onto a little plate for him. Usually he'd try a couple of mouthfuls and leave it at that. He would have a bottle of milk at bedtime at that age though.
Depends on what they are providing but my 3 year old doesn’t want dinner after nursery. Her ‘tea’ with them is at 3:30/4. I offer soup or pitta bread with cream cheese and that’s the max of what she wants but most time she refuses. I used to make dinners every night but she never wanted it.
My kids are always so hungry when they come home and they are looking/asking for food even if they eat everything in nursery. If I would be you I would try to give them something and they can decide whether they want it or not
My LG is 11 months and has the same at nursery but when we get home she just had milk and bed. We live 40 mins from nursery so by the time we get home she has 30 mins play time with daddy then it's milk and bedtime, she down by 6:15. On the odd occasion when she's not eaten well I've offered her a small portion of porridge as it's warm cream comforting and filling but I find she's so tired after nursery she's never bothered by wanting more food just her milk. But every baby is different, my health visitor always tells me to use mummy instinct
Depends if they're still hungry and how much milk they're having and how nutritionally balanced the day's eating has been 😊 I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to make them something separate though, probably just a bit of whatever I'm having and milk
