Food

The food that we provide at Early Years Childcare is nutritious and well balanced. We ensure it is low in sugar and contains natural ingredients wherever possible. Food is seasoned with herbs and other ingredients, as salt is not added to our food. After meals we always ensure that the children brush their teeth.

Our cook at Hove nursery is Nicola Simmonds. For more information concerning food please speak to your nursery manager.

Hove nursery's kitchen holds the top-level food hygiene award from Brighton & Hove Council, as part of a scheme run by the Food Standards Agency.

At meal times, our children are encouraged to serve themselves, and by doing so they develop important skills and hand to eye co-ordination.

An Example Daily Menu:

Breakfast Choice of cereals and milk or toast

Morning Snack Vegetable Sticks

Lunch Vegetarian Chilli with red kidney beans and wholegrain brown rice

High Tea Jacket potato skins with cheese & spring onion

Afternoon Snack Fresh or dried fruit

Water and milk are provided during the day.
