Our qualified and experienced cooks, Holly and Jo, prepare all of our homemade meals on site. They have taken a great deal of care in developing a six week menu for the children which rotates every week and is healthy, nutritious and enjoyable.

"Children are extremely well nourished and enjoy a healthy diet through varied and balanced snacks and home made meals."

We have received the Platinum Eat Well Award for the quality of our food and hygiene. Holly was recently nominated for the Nursery Management Today 'Nursery Chef of the Year' Award, and she did exceptionally well by getting to the final cook-off with 5 finalists in London. 

We use local produce, minimal salt in our cooking and do not use any processed foods. All of our meat is sourced from our local butcher in Kelsall. We try and give as much variety as we can to the children. New foods are initially tried on a small scale and if they are liked by the children then they will be introduced into the menu.

All dietary requirements are catered for in the Nursery. Our cooks try to make all of the meals look the same so that when the children are eating together, the children with special dietary requirements do not feel any different to the rest of the group.

For snack time the children have a variety of fresh fruits, raw vegetables, dried fruit , bread sticks, crumpets and crackers.

We have two different menus per day. A weaning menu which introduces babies to fruit and vegetables and a main children's menu for all children from 12 months upwards. Children's daily snack is also planned on the weekly menu. Please click on our sample menus below for more information.
