Diet

Snack and meal times are an important part of your child’s day as it is a social time for them and they get to learn about healthy food. Before your child starts I will need to know about their dietary needs and if they have any allergies.  All the meals, snacks and drinks I provide will be nutritious, and I will avoid using large quantities of fat, sugar, salt, additives, preservatives and colourings. All children will be encouraged to eat a wide range of foods, which will include the main nutrients of carbohydrates, proteins, and essential vitamins and minerals.  A child's personal and medical dietary requirements will be respected; I currently offer a vegetarian alternative for your child on a daily basis

I plan my menus in advance and make sure the food I serve is fresh and wholesome. A multi-cultural diet is offered to ensure that children from all backgrounds encounter familiar tastes and that they also have the opportunity to try unfamiliar foods. Water, Milk and sugar free juice is available at all times. Milk will be whole and pasteurised

Meals

All meals are included at no extra cost when a place has been booked for 6 hours or more.  When a place has been booked for less than 6 hours meals will be charged at the following prices: Breakfast £1.00, and Tea: £2.00. This applies to older children only; all food will have to be provided by the parents of babies.  Meal times should be a happy and social time for the children conversation will be encouraged. I will make every effort to respect individual dietary requirements. 

A well-balanced diet is vital in a child's growth and development, I will only serve freshly cooked and nutritious food and I will rotate the menus regularly so the children do not become bored of the same food
