I am a single mum to a DD who is 3 in October. From September she is going to be at nursery very long hours (7.30-5.30) while I work.
The problem is food.. In order to get there for 7.30 I will need her to get up at about 6.30 in the morning. I don't need to give her breakfast as she will get that at nursery. However, the nursery serves the main meal at lunchtime and then a 'high tea' of sandwiches type thing at about 4pm. So by the time I get her home at 5.45ish, she will need to eat again. But I can't figure out how to do this or what to give her, considering that she will need to get to bed quite quickly in order to have enough sleep for the next day :( how should I do this? Does anyone have any suggestions? I am scratching my head to work out what to do! Thanks in advance :)

Not sure I agree with all these suggestions.
Most of what she will be eating will already be processed, from the breakfast to the lunch and tea. Make soups, or some other sort of fresh whole food that include vegetables. A Dahl as someone suggested, some lentil stew, roasted veggies, soups served with real parmesan and some croutons. All can be done in advance in the weekend and then heated in a few minutes for both of you, eating the same thing at the same time.
