Mealtimes & Menus
We aim to provide a well balanced and nutritional menu, providing the children with many and varied, yet healthy foods. All of which is freshly prepared on site on a daily basis.
Ensuring we incorporate all the major food groups and on some occasions we include international food to reflect our learning aims and areas of learning, for example the Chinese New Year.
The children sit down together at mealtimes and eat as a family, as we believe this is valuable for encouraging social and personal skills and to provide opportunities to learn about healthy eating.
In recognition of our commitment to quality nutrition and food preparation the nurseries have been awarded the Kirklees ‘Healthy Eating’ Gold Award.
Special diets can easily be catered for within the Nursery, as long as you let us know in advance.
Our 5 weekly rotating menu seen below is also displayed on the Parents' Notice Board.
