Nursery meals 

The nursery provides lovely freshly cooked vegetarian hot meals at lunch times or a cold option at tea time, which are all prepared daily on the premises by Nicola our nursery cook. Nicola is passionate about providing healthy meals which the children enjoy. The children love to eat the same meals as their friends. They learn how to use a knife and fork, make choices and serve themselves with adult support and encouragement. 



If you decide that you would like your child to eat the nursery food there is a contribution of £2.50 per day cost. Please ensure you speak to one of the staff who will discuss when this option can be offered.
