Nutrition
Our menus have been devised by a paediatric nutritionist. Our food is organic and has won The Healthy Eating Under 5′s Award. We always provide fresh balanced meals to children at each meal or snack time. A choice of fresh fruit is available at snack times, morning and afternoon. We also cater for dietary requirements and preferences.
Fresh water is available to the children at all times through water fountains and no squash is served.
Breakfast consists of a variety of non-sugared cereals and wholemeal toast.
Mid morning and mid afternoon snacks consist of various fruit and a choice or either milk or water to drink.
Lunch is always a balanced hot meal, cooked freshly on the premises by a dedicated nursery cook.
Tea is fresh and balanced and includes a variety of choices including soup, pasta and pizza; all homemade, along with a variety of fruit.
Copies of our four week menus and recipes are available at the nursery and in our parents area.
We tailor our menus weekly to reflect children’s choice (we find this out during conversations at meal times) and introduce at least one new food or dish for the children to try every week. We also ensure that children are introduced to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
