We know that almost 50% of the calories that young children consume are used to support their intense brain activity and that 30% of our foundation is based on what and how we eat.

Encouraging children to explore eating and to ensure a balance is as vital as having the opportunity to discover through play.

So giving children the opportunity to see, hear and smell food and being able to serve themselves from an early age will be beneficial to the child.

Therefore our catering team are an integral part of our nursery as we encourage children to explore and take part in the whole process of growing, preparing, cooking and eating a healthy, balanced diet.

Wherever possible we will grow our own food or source it locally, we will use only the freshest ingredients and we will aim to make as much of our food as we can, including bread and pasta.

Meal times are relaxed and sociable with the adults eating alongside the children, who are encouraged to serve themselves.
Our menus are always displayed and we are able to cater for special dietary requirements.
