What we provide
The food we provide at the provision is not intended as a substitute for a main evening meal. We provide healthy snacks, including fresh fruit and vegetables. We promote independence by encouraging the children to prepare their own snacks and to clear away after themselves. We use fresh ingredients and follow statutory guidelines. We meet individual dietary requirements and parental preferences wherever possible. We recognise the importance of healthy nutrition for children delivered in a calm, friendly setting. In line with the nursery menu, we run a three-week menu freshly prepared each day by our dedicated kitchen team. Fresh drinking water is available at all times.
