Our food is prepared by our sister company Slice of Pie, they bake our breakfast breads and prepare two nutritionally balanced meals a day for the children. we can cater for most dietary requirements. Menus are updated seasonally and rotate over a 4 week period. Slice of pie do not use processed foods, every meal is made from scratch, even the baked beans!
We gather information from parents regarding their children's dietary needs including any allergies. Where appropriate we will carry out a risk assessment in the case of allergies and work alongside parents to put into place an individual diet plan for children.
Children receive all meals if they attend a full day at the nursery. Menus are planned in advance, rotated regularly and reflect cultural diversity and variation. These are displayed for parents to view. Menus include five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day.
We have been awarded several industry awards based on our approach to nutrition and food within our settings.
Meal and snack times are organised so that they are social occasions in which children and staff participate in small groups. During meals and snack times children are encouraged to use manners and say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and conversation is encouraged.
