We involve children in the preparation and serving snack in their groups which supports independence and self-help skills along with a sense of belonging. The children regularly participate in cookery activities throughout the week. The lunchtime meals are provided by a catering company who specialise in providing nutritious, balanced meals for children and the kitchen is overseen and supervised by the manager and the admin assistant. All staff who are responsible for preparing food have the relevant food safety and allergens training.
Nursery lunches will follow a healthy balanced rolling menu (4 weekly), we have a summer and winter menu. These are reviewed and updated regularly by our manager and admin assistant who understand the nutritional needs of young children.
