Food and Nutrition

We are virtually evangelical about our food. We believe that we have a responsibility to instil healthy eating habits in children. And the children eat well at Nursery, enjoying a wide variety of lovingly prepared meals.

All meals are made daily in our own on-site kitchen. We cater for special dietary requirements. Dinners are well-balanced and healthy yet tasty, proving the nutritional elements children need. Our menu is planned by the Owner, a Mum of four, who has a knack for planning healthy food that children find tasty. She is also qualified to level 2 in Catering for Specialist Groups, including children with special dietary requirements. All staff have a food hygiene qualification.

Morning snack is a choice of two fresh fruits. Lunch is home-cooked daily including favourites such as minestrone soup, beef stew, freshly made quiche, chicken with mango sauce, ham and pea cheesy risotto, for example. Fun but healthy food such as Tacos, Mediterranean Tapas, Chick Pea Korma and our very own “Cowboy Casserole” are also featured. Menus are posted weekly. Afternoon tea is usually breads, including pita, crumpets, rice cakes, toasted tea cakes or toast.

Puree’s for babies are home made fresh on-site, with attention paid to the nutritional needs of young children and any specific requests of the parents. Care and consideration is given to the ever-changing feeding requirements of each individual baby, with the introduction of new feeding stages from puree’s to “lumpy” textures, to finger foods and eventually to using cutlery. We serve, for example, carrot and apple, pea and pear or leek and potato, generally sticking to fresh ingredients in season. We cater for individual dietary needs and, in close consultation with parents, working to ensure that all special requests are met consistently.
