Nutrition & Outdoor Fun

 

At all of our nurseries, we believe a healthy lifestyle starts early. From nutritious home-cooked meals to plenty of time spent outdoors, we make sure every child has the fuel and freedom they need to thrive.

Fresh, Healthy Meals Every Day

 

Our in-house cooks prepare tasty, balanced meals and snacks daily, using fresh ingredients and child-friendly recipes. Mealtimes are happy, social occasions where children are encouraged to try new flavours, enjoy seasonal produce, and develop good eating habits.

Meals consist of lunch with a dessert, tea with a dessert, and a snack. We plan all meals in advance on a 4-week rotating menu to ensure variety, nutrition, and excitement at every mealtime.

We cater for a range of dietary requirements and work closely with parents to ensure each child’s individual needs are met.

Below is an example of a typical weekly menu:

Lunch: Homemade Quorn cottage pie with peas and carrots

Dessert: Tinned mandarins

Tea: Assorted sandwiches - ham / cheese / tuna

Outdoor Play & Active Fun

 

Alongside healthy eating, we place great importance on physical activity. Each nursery has safe, well-equipped outdoor areas where children can climb, run, ride, and play every day. From gardening and nature walks to imaginative games and sports, outdoor play is part of daily life.

Exploring the outdoors not only supports physical development but also helps children build confidence, social skills, and a love of fresh air and nature.
