We have a full time cook at the nursery who prepares all the meals fresh from locally sourced produce. We are very keen to promote healthy eating within the nursery, therefore all the menu’s are viewed by a nutritionist before they are used in the nursery. We ensure that the children are provided with as many portions of fruit and vegetables a day in order to help achieve ‘5 a day’. The children have access to a drink at all times of the day from the minute they arrive at nursery to the moment the go home. We also provide Halal meat for children whose parents so wish. Our cook is qualified and makes a variety of meals each day to cater for allergies or parental preferences. 

We have also achieved 5 stars scores on the doors and the Gold healthy choice award for several years running.

Meals and snacks are provided at the following approximate times:

The babies are provided with meals similar to the rest of the nursery depending upon there age. The staff work alongside parents to introduce new foods when the child is weaning. We provide formula milk in the nursery that is made fresh when each child requires it.

Mealtimes are leisurely, unhurried and are treated as a social occasion, as all the children and staff, including the babies when possible, eat together in their individual rooms. Health and Hygiene are the nursery's top priority, and our kitchen is kept to a very high standard of cleanliness. We have recently achieved 5 stars from ‘scores on the doors’ programme for our hygiene.

Meal Times are messy but fun !!!!
