School breakfast clubs provide children with a nutritional start to the school day, which contributes to a healthy balanced diet. It reduces the 'empty' feeling often encountered mid-morning in children who have missed breakfast. The clubs encourage school attendance, by providing a welcoming environment and a calming atmosphere that increases pupils' attention span and prepares them for the learning day. There has also been a marked reduction in classroom disruption by pupils who attend a breakfast club.
Working parents benefit from being able to leave their children earlier at school, knowing that they will receive supervision and refreshments, so reducing stress and enabling them to get to work on time.
