Meals
We strive to provide a top quality balanced healthy diet and all
meals are freshly prepared by our cooks in our well
equipped kitchens on site. Mealtimes are social occasions and we
encourage the children to appreciate good food as well as developing
good table manners.
Breakfast is served for children arriving before 8.30am, lunch is a two course meal and tea is served at 3pm. During the day children have regular healthy snacks and water is always available. Meals are prepared using fresh fruit and vegetables wherever possible and great importance is placed on creating a simple, balanced and varied menu.
We operate a winter and summer menu of all home cooked meals, which consists of produce readily available during these times. A daily menu board for parents information is displayed in the nursery.
Samples of our lunches and teas are shown below:
