Wholesome Meals
The food that we provide at Early Years Childcare is nutritious and well balanced. We ensure it is low in salt and sugar and contains natural ingredients, wherever possible.
Our meals are freshly prepared on site, following a six-week rolling menu*. We can cater for most allergies and medical dietary requirements and all meals have a vegetarian /vegan alternative.
Menus are given to parents when their children join the nursery and are on display on the noticeboard in each room. Special dishes are often prepared to celebrate festivals and theme days, offering children the opportunity to sample foods from a variety of cultures.
*Menus may be subject to change due to the availability of seasonal foods.
