Good nutrition is the building block of a healthy, happy child. A
well-balanced diet of fruit and vegetables will be provided to
encourage good healthy eating habits; this food pattern is essential
in the early years. The menu is displayed in the baby room and in
the main nursery in the cloakroom.
Laura Court has made up the
menus for the nursery she monitors and reviews the menus considering
current national guidelines from the Care Inspectorate, Setting the
table and Better eating and Better living.
We have seasonal
menu’s that have a four-week plan in each of the Spring, Summer
Autumn and Winter menus. We serve some Quorn product and fresh fish
and seasonal vegetables. The menu is healthy and has a balance of
main nutrients and ingredients that is essential for growth and
development.
