Meal times are flexible, enjoyable and a social occasion where children are offered a well-balanced and nutritious diet, carefully taking into consideration their individual dietary requirements/allergies. All meals and snacks are freshly prepared on the premises and where possible include foods the children have grown and harvested from the nursery garden. All children have access to fresh drinking water through out the day.
We have a 4 week rotating menu that ensures a wide range of meal choices and enables children to explore a variety of different tastes.
