FOOD &

NUTRITION

It is important that children have a healthy relationship with food, that is why we encourage baby led weaning as per the recommended NHS guidelines. To support this, as part of their lunch, we offer each child until 2 years of age a range of small size finger foods. We also offer traditional weaning with purees – please talk to your key person about what options you would like your baby to have. Ultimately, we will always work with you, the parents, to see what suits your child’s needs best.

We have an experienced Onsite Chef who will be providing daily, fresh, nutritious meals. We are proud to source our Free Range meat via local, well reputed butchers.
