Mealtimes at Our Nursery

Good Food, New Flavours and No Pressure

Our freshly prepared nursery meals include meat and vegetarian options, wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, with milk and drinking water available throughout the day. When you register, we’ll ask about your child’s allergies, intolerances, food preferences and cultural or religious requirements so we can plan suitable meals.
Children eat together with time to chat, enjoy familiar favourites and try new flavours. We offer gentle encouragement, never pressure, and don’t use food as a reward or punishment. Seasonal celebrations introduce dishes from different cultures, with occasional small treats offered only with parental consent.
