Our aim is to provide a balanced, nutritious and varied menu, which is appealing and appetising to all of the children in our care. Our menus comprise the following:
Breakfast
sugar free cereals, toast, etc.
Lunch
freshly prepared ‘home cooked’ meal consisting of a main course and pudding, using ingredients from our local supermarket.
Tea
high tea, for example, cheese and tomato pitta breads or freshly made pizza.
Mid-morning and afternoon snacks – fruit or vegetable sticks, plain biscuits, bread sticks. Drinks – water (available throughout the day), milk, juice.
For bottle fed children, you need to provide ready to use cartons or pre-measured formula and sterilised bottles. We will then mix the formula with boiled water.
Weaning takes place in accordance with parents’ wishes and current recommendations. Pureed food is provided by the nursery. Parents are given an update of babies’ food and fluid intake via a daily diary.
