Food & Drink

Mealtimes are seen as an important social time within the nursery. Children are encouraged to develop independence and social skills by choosing, selecting, pouring, cutting and serving for themselves and others. Menus are rotated regularly and take into account the nutritional needs of young children.

The children are seated in small groups, with an adult present to encourage and support them. Younger children who need assistance in cutting will always be presented with the complete meal before it is cut. Once the children have reached the age of two, they will be encouraged to help set tables, and serve themselves and others.

The cost of all food, drink and formula milk is included in the fees. Expressed breast milk can also be stored and given. Organic milk is provided for all children, once they have progressed onto cows milk.
