Menu & Nutrition
What will my child eat at nursery?
We provide balanced and nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, including a hot lunch, and cater to all allergies and dietary requirements.
Mealtimes are calm and sociable, where children can enjoy food together, practise independence and develop healthy habits. Self-service, snack bars and real crockery and utensils, where appropriate, reflect a home environment and help children become more independent.
Our approach includes:
- Nutritious hot lunches served daily
- Healthy snacks and teas
- Access to drinking water throughout the day
- Opportunities to try new foods
- Support for dietary requirements, allergies and cultural preferences
- Activities that help children understand where food comes from
Menus are carefully planned to provide a balance of protein, carbohydrates, vegetables and fruit, helping children to develop positive eating habits and enjoy a varied diet.
