The nursery provides a primarily vegetarian diet, although chicken (halal). fish and eggs have been introduced. A weekly menu is pinned up on the notice board and staff keep weekly a food monitoring chart of children's food consumption. If your child has any special dietary requirements please list them on your admissions form and discuss them with a member of staff.
At 10.00am the children have breakfast and drink followed by a two course lunch at 12.00 noon. At 3.00pm we have afternoon tea and drink.
We look upon meal times as a social event with the children sitting in groups supervised by an adult who will encourage good table manners and social interaction.
We aim to provide a wide range of foods reflecting cultural diversity and will often have a special meal as part of a cultural celebration. Birthdays can be celebrated by a special afternoon tea.
We ask you not to send your child to nursery with food from home as children with special dietary needs may gain access to possibly damaging substances e.g. nut allergies can prove fatal.
