Meals

I promote healthy eating and believe in providing a balanced, nutritious diet for the children in my care. Lunch for weaned children (or for those doing baby-led weaning) is included in my fees. Breakfast can also be offered if required. I can provide dinner for children staying late at extra cost. All meals are freshly prepared by me. I also provide snacks during the day. Drinking water is always available. Juice can be offered if requested. I do not offer fizzy drinks.

I have experience with specific dietary requirements and am able to provide for these.

I am happy to accommodate packed lunches but please be aware that it is an Early Years Foundation Stage requirement that all food given is healthy and balanced.

We always eat together at the table. I believe this is a very valuable time for children’s development and social skills.
