We believe to give your child the best start in life it is important for them to develop a love and an understanding of healthy food from a young age. Their relationship with food will follow them throughout their entire lives and we want to encourage this relationship to be a positive, healthy one.

When choosing the perfect caterer for the nursery we ensure the caterer delivers your child:

They do not use fish from the Marine Conservation Society ‘fish to avoid’ list

Breakfast, snacks and tea
We pride ourselves in offering a healthy variety of breakfast, snacks and tea which are made by our nursery team. Who during the day talk to the children about what they would like to eat. Sparking conversations about healthy eating habits and how we can have a balanced diet. The children also help to prepare these meals from the youngest being supported to help pour their own milk to our oldest preparing their own sandwiches.
Growing our own
We educate our children on where our food comes from. The children throughout the year plant seeds and tend to their large vegetable patch. Watching how the different fruits and vegetables grow. These are then used to make yummy nutritious meals at teatime. The children also enjoy picking the fruit from the trees in our garden to have at snack time. We believe this is the best way for children to develop a love and understanding about the food they eat.
Inspections
Both the caterers & the nursery premises are regularly inspected by Environmental Health Food Standard Agency to ensure all safety measures are consistently in place.
