Meals

The meals provided are varied and of a very high standard. The main menu is changed frequently and a weekly menu is displayed in reception. Meals are freshly prepared using fresh fruit and vegetables. (Please let us know if your child has any special dietary requirements (we will endeavour to accommodate your child's needs).

Babies are fed with the milk that you provide and their mealtimes are influenced by the routines you have at home. At weaning stage freshly pureed food is given to baby and you will be fully informed of the type and quantity of food given, again sticking to the routine that you prescribe.

Older children will eat together and they will be taught how to use cutlery and learn the skills necessary for social eating. They will be actively encouraged to try out new tastes and textures at meal times. Our staff will actively engage with the children at mealtimes and help them to recognise healthy foods. Fresh fruit and vegetable snacks are given to children in segments throughout the course of the day which the children will help to prepare.

Please feel free to discuss your child's eating habits with us as necessary, whether it is their individual needs or special dietary requirements.
