Healthy eating

Our experienced cooks provide a nutritious well balanced diet for all children attending the nursery.  Breakfast, mid morning and mid afternoon snacks are available and a two-course meal at lunchtime for 2-5 year olds attending for a full day. Children aged 0-2 years will be offered breakfast, lunch and tea.

  • At mealtimes the children will be encouraged to try a variety of  tastes
  • Staff will encourage and support the older children in developing  good table manners, social skills and gaining independence
  • Our younger children are introduced to different textures and  tastes and our baby room cook, along with your support will even start the weaning process if you wish
  • Both cooks will discuss any dietary requirements you may have

Our Baby menu has been created and produced using the children’s author Annabel Karmel’s recipes and essential guide to feeding babies and young children.

Our older children’s menus have been planned and created in accordance with the Scottish Executive document National Guidance for Early Years: Food Choices for Children Aged 1-5 years in Early Education and Childcare Settings.
