Healthy Food
Mealtimes are Happy!
Mealtimes are happy, social occasions for the children. Staff and children enjoy lots of positive interactions.
We are committed to offering children homemade, healthy, nutritious and balanced meals and snacks. Dietary requirements are catered for. Fresh drinking water, milk, fruit and yoghurt are available throughout the day.
We use the ‘eat better, start better’ to plan our menus. We promote self-help skills by encouraging the children to serve themselves at meal times.
