If your child will be with us over lunchtime, we can offer them a healthy, nutritious and balanced cooked meal for a small charge.  Meals are freshly prepared and cooked each day by either Beth or Donna, our nursery cooks.  We will encourage your child to develop good eating habits and table manners as they eat alongside their peers. 

​

If you would prefer, we also give the option of your child bringing their own packed lunch.

​

To foster a healthy interest in food, we provide lots of opportunities for the children to get involved in cooking themselves.  Baking and making food related to religious festivals is planned for, however spontaneous opportunities for cooking regularly take place. 

 

Across both nursery rooms we offer a rolling snack in the morning and the afternoon.  This allows the children the freedom of deciding when they are ready to have a snack, so that it is not necessary to interrupt their play.  They are given a choice of a savoury option, such as toast or a crumpet, or fruit.  This gives them the opportunity to make a healthy choice of what they would like to eat. 

​

Our cooks can cater to any of your child’s dietary requirements.  Babies are automatically catered for with recipes that contain less salt and sugar and age appropriate introduction to meat.  Please feel free to ask any questions about the food we serve at nursery when you visit and make sure you include any details of special dietary requirements on your child’s enrolment form, then you can leave the rest to us!

Beth and Donna follow a six week menu plan, allowing you to plan your meals at home ensuring a balanced diet for your child.  Please bear in mind that these menus are a guide only, and may be subject to change due celebrations, events, seasonal availability and weather etc.  All of your child's meals will be logged on Famly accurately on a daily basis, including the portion size.  These are our Spring/Summer 26 menus:
