We use our playroom also as a dining room where children, including babies, sit with staff in family groups at all meal times. The children sit when eating at adult size tables and chairs using boosters for toddlers and highchairs for the babies, here the children are taught table manners and how to use a knife and fork.

Due to a scare about how much salt young children consume, we would like to give you information on your child’s diet at nursery.

We use no processed foods.
Our cook does not add salt to any food.
We use fresh meat and vegetables.

Our cook makes all meals fresh, she also makes her own curry sauce, Bolognese sauce, meat pies, pastry, steamed puddings, fairy cakes, jam tarts, milk puddings etc.

We use best quality products, named brands of cereal, fish, corned beef and drinks.

Our only sin is crisps and wotsits which are served no more than once in any five weeks.

Our cook goes to great lengths to accommodate children with special dietary needs.

We may have to change the menu in an emergency, if the cook was ill etc.
