Food and Nutrition
We are all aware of the huge importance of good nutrition in terms of your child's health and the nursery prides itself in the quality of the food. Our aim is to give your child the very best start.
All of our mouth watering meals are home cooked using locally sourced produce where possible. We provide organic milk or water for drinks and aim to provide a wide variety of different foods. We understand that young children will try most things but that that quickly changes as they get older and we must give them the opportunity to develop a taste for many different foods.
Our five weekly menus are carefully balanced and varied and are changed seasonally. We limit the use of sugar, do not add salt, use wholemeal bread and of course incorporate at least five servings of fruit or veg each day.
Breakfast, lunch and high tea are provided along with snacks mid-morning and mid afternoon.
Breakfast consists of non-sugared cereal and milk, followed by wholemeal toast.
A vegetarian alternative is always available and special dietary requirements can be catered for. Your child will be actively encouraged to try everything but will there will always be the option for something different if they genuinely dislike something. You can see our full menus by selecting the option on the left.
Breaks
Milk and snacks are served mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Snacks include salad, raisins, fruit, cheese, bread sticks etc. (A self service snack bar is available in the Owls room serving the above).
