Healthy and Tasty Food
We believe in the importance of a balanced and varied diet. Many children are in nursery for a whole day and it is very important that the food they receive is nutritious and meets the needs of a developing child. All meals are cooked fresh from frozen each day at the setting and come from our supplier O.K Foods. All fresh items are locally sourced and our menus may change from time to time dependent on season.O.K.Foods consult the nursery staff to ensure quality meals are provided for all children against a balanced menu on a three week rolling cycle. Particular dietary requirements can be catered for which are medically or culturally based.
We do ask you to supply “made up” baby milk in bottles on a daily basis and we can supply babies with pureed fruit/vegetables/meals for when they are ready to be weaned in close consultation with parents/carers. We are not able to serve home made food to the children for health and safety reasons. We are able to accept sealed baby food jars and yoghurts. However the manager will be able to discuss all requirements with you so that we may endeavour to suit all your needs.Children starting before 8:30 a.m. are offered breakfast items such as toast, muffins or pancakes dependent on the menu and a drink of milk. Lunch is served at approximately 11.45 a.m. and consists of a hot meal and a desert. Afternoon tea is a light meal at 3.30 p.m. Menus are posted on the parent notice boards.
We provide the children with organic milk and water at snack times and do not encourage children to drink sugary juice type drinks. Water is available at all times for the children in the rooms. Sometimes the children have an opportunity to cook different foods, which they can take home or share with their friends.
We believe that good, wholesome food, is essential for health and as such, are constantly reviewing what food we offer the children.
If any parent wishes to receive organic milk, baby puree or supplies for home use please ask and we will arrange for the details to be forwarded to you.
