Our Food

We believe that healthy eating is an important part of giving children the very best start in life. Our meals are freshly prepared on site each day by our talented kitchen team, using high-quality ingredients to create nutritious, balanced and delicious food that children enjoy.


We are proud to work in partnership with Felix, a food redistribution charity that helps reduce food waste while supporting communities in need. By paying for weekly deliveries, we not only receive fresh, quality produce, but also contribute to the charity’s wider work of redistributing surplus food to those who need it most.

Because our deliveries vary from week to week, our menus are anything but ordinary. Rather than following a fixed cycle menu, our experienced cooks create a bespoke menu every week, designed around the fresh ingredients available. This allows us to offer children a varied diet and introduce them to a wide range of flavours, textures and foods. Weekly menus are shared with parents so families can see exactly what their children will be enjoying.

 

During a full day at nursery, children are offered:

  • Breakfast
  • Morning snack
  • Lunch
  • Afternoon snack
  • Dinner

Hot, freshly cooked meals are provided at both lunch and dinner.

We cater for a wide range of allergies, intolerances and dietary requirements, ensuring every child can enjoy meals safely and confidently. Our team works closely with families to understand individual needs and provide suitable alternatives wherever required.

 

As part of our commitment to celebrating diversity and broadening children’s experiences, we regularly incorporate dishes and ingredients from different cultures around the world. Introducing children to a variety of cuisines helps to develop adventurous eaters, broaden their palates and encourage an appreciation of different cultures and traditions.

 

Mealtimes are an important part of our curriculum and are designed to promote independence, confidence and social skills. We serve meals family-style, with children and adults eating together around the table. Children are encouraged to serve themselves, make choices about their food and take responsibility for their own eating, helping them develop valuable life skills while enjoying a positive and sociable dining experience.

Through fresh food, shared experiences and a focus on independence, we aim to help children develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

We understand that every child’s weaning journey is different, which is why we work closely with families to follow your lead from home. We tailor meals, textures and portion sizes to your child’s individual stage of weaning, aiming to provide a consistent, familiar experience between home and nursery. As your child progresses at home, we’ll work alongside you to reflect those changes at nursery too.

 

We also carefully cater for allergies, intolerances and individual dietary requirements, working in partnership with families to ensure every child can enjoy nutritious and varied mealtimes safely. Our aim is for mealtimes to feel happy, relaxed and inclusive, while supporting children to develop confidence and independence around food.
