What we eat

The nursery provides the main meal, which is supplied by an outside caterer. There is a meat or vegetarian choice and all our meat is halal. We also provide breakfast of cereals and toast. Children bring in a snack for their tea, usually a sandwich and piece of fruit, or leftovers from home followed by yoghurt.
Throughout the day milk and water are supplied, also fresh fruit. We promote healthy eating and discourage non-nutritional foods.
Children have an opportunity to plant vegetables in the garden and during autumn we harvest our crop and the children are shown how soups and salads are made (which they can then eat).
