Healthy Eating

Many children eat up to ten meals a week whilst attending nursery, making this around half of their nutritional intake. For us, this is a huge responsibility and we will ensure that everything our children eat is of the highest quality. 

All our meals use fresh ingredients, freshly prepared. We benchmark our menus against national guidelines and we also work with a local nutritionist. This guarantees that we provide all the key nutrients needed to support learning, concentration, play and sleep.

Our Eco-Garden

Our Eco-Garden allows children to grow their own fruit and vegetables. This encourages them to eat a healthy diet and promotes a good understanding of the basics of food and nutrition. 
​
By inviting our children to help select what we grow, they will develop a strong interest in their meals and feel a real sense of achievement when something they have planted ends up on their plate.

Our key nutritional aims:

  1. Low levels of refined sugars
  2. Plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole-foods
  3. High-quality proteins
  4. Recommended levels of essential fats 
  5. Organic and free range where when possible (all our milk is organic and free range)
