We provide a healthy balanced and nutritious breakfast, lunch and tea. Water is alway available and juice and milk is provided throughout the day. Children receive a breakfast, which is made up cereals, healthy whole meal bread toast or fruit, with either fruit juice or milk. We have a varied lunch menu comprising a weekly balance of meat, fish, rice, pasta, potatoes, vegetables and salad. Vegetarian options are provided. The desserts served at lunch time are healthy and ranges from yoghurts, jelly fruit and apple crumble. Tea comprises sandwiches, bread sticks, fruit, raisins, carrots, celery, fresh fruit and yoghurt with an afternoon drink of water, fruit juice or milk.
Before a child is admitted we obtain information about any special dietary requirements, preferences and food allergies that the child has, and any special health requirements. Fresh drinking is always available and accessible at all times. With a completion of a health form which includes dietary needs we record and act on information from parents and carers about a child’s dietary needs.
The nursery has a registered kitchen where healthy meals, snacks and drinks are prepared. We also have a dining hall where lunch is served. There is good facilities for the hygienic preparation and serving of food for our children.
