How to declare dinner lady occupation

Options
My wife has taken up a 3 hours a week job at the local school as a dinner lady, ahem "Lunchtime supervisor". Its car insurance renewal time, given that she'll sometimes use the car to get to school if she's going on somewhere afterwards I want to ensure she's covered.

Any thoughts on how I should enter that occupation? I've tried Dinner lady, looked at all of the "school" related job titles but they're all teacher\student based.

Grateful for some help or advice.

    I believe the ABI list includes "dinner lady" - certainly confused.com has it as one of the options

    Why Dinner Lady why not Dinner Gentleman?
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    If it doesn't come out cheaper by adding comuting I'll eat my hat.

    Cos it'd be a bit odd to call his wife a dinner gentleman even in these PC days

    I guess I could have gone with dinner person ... but as its factually correct I reckon I'm on safe ground :)

    Wammer you win by inadvertently helping me out. Your food services suggestion gave the lightbulb moment that this this isn't a kitchen or dinning role. Admiral include "Playground Assistant/Worker" which fits the bill completely. Thanks!

    Ah - the joys of Admiral multicar quoting ... £732.20 automatic requote just about to fall to £526.53 simply by filling out a fresh application in my wife's name and getting a price match to our existing policy. Its the same every year.

    Ok, they dont use the standard ABI list, Canteen Staff would have been my choice from what I can see there.

    Canteen staff depends if she works in the kitchen dishing out the meals/washing up or walking round the school yard supervising the kids. :D

    Dinner ladies walk around the school yard (other than to have a crafty fag)? Teachers did that in my school :o
