Healthy Eating at Our Nursery

At our nursery, we believe that healthy eating starts from a young age. All our meals are freshly prepared on site each day, using quality ingredients and plenty of fruit and vegetables. We offer a balanced variety of dishes from different cuisines, helping children enjoy new flavours while still having their familiar favourites. Our menus rotate weekly to make sure mealtimes stay interesting, nutritious, and enjoyable for every child.

Balanced and Bright

Our first menu of the month focuses on familiar, nutritious meals that children enjoy. From comforting dishes like Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Noodles to lighter options such as fish fingers with beans and couscous with roasted cod, we make sure every meal is balanced and full of flavour. Fresh fruit, vegetables, and healthy snacks keep little ones energised all day.

Gentle Flavours and New Tastes

In Week 2, we include a variety of mild, home-style dishes that encourage children to try new flavours. Meals like Persian saffron chicken with rice, creamy broccoli pasta, and vegetable biryani introduce gentle spices and textures in a way that’s suitable for young children. With plenty of fresh produce and balanced portions, this menu helps build healthy eating habits in a calm, enjoyable way.

Wholesome and Filling

Our Week 3 menu brings a lovely mix of nourishing meals and familiar favourites. Children enjoy comforting options such as chicken curry with rice, Persian kebab with saffron rice, and tomato pasta, alongside healthy snacks like hummus, fruit platters, and cheese with crackers. Each meal is prepared fresh and designed to support busy, active days at the nursery.

Comfort and Variety

We finish the month with a comforting, wholesome menu filled with variety. Dishes like chicken curry korma with brown rice, broccoli pasta, lamb stew, and tuna pasta provide plenty of balanced nutrition while keeping mealtimes interesting. Served with fresh fruit, soups, and light snacks, this week’s menu offers a cosy end to a month of healthy, home-cooked meals.
