Nursery Kitchen
The Nursery Kitchen
Meal times are designed to be a sociable experience for the children. Children are able to initiate conversations with one another in a relaxed and caring environment with an adult nearby for support. Our nursery cook works full time and is also qualified to level 3 in early years.
The Nursery Kitchen is part of the main nursery premises so that all nursery meals and snacks can be provided on site. Our kitchen is a registered food premises and is subject to Environmental Health inspection and regulation. All staff working in the kitchen hold a food hygiene and safety certificate.
Children are provided with drinks, snacks and meals throughout the day according to our daily plan. Each day’s menu is displayed on the parent’s notice board in the entrance hall.
The nursery menu is as varied as possible and is designed to incorporate children’s favourite meals.
We provide nutritious, wholesome meals free from artificial preservatives and sweeteners and GM ingredients as much as possible. Menu design also promotes children's dental health.
We are able to cater for special diets e.g. vegetarian, wheat, gluten, dairy, nut free etc. as required, by working closely with parents. It is important that we are fully aware of allergies or special dietary needs.
