Healthy Eating

Food for Thought

At Leapfrog in Daybrook we make mealtimes happy social occasions, where skills can be developed and new foods tasted.

We are dedicated to providing your children with fresh, well-balanced meals every day; that not only taste great, but that also provide lots of nourishment.

Phil VickeryTo ensure we are providing well balanced, nutritious meals to our children, the Busy Bees catering team worked alongside Michelin-starred chef, Phil Vickery, and a child nutritionist to create a brand new range of delicious recipes to use, as part of the nurseries' day to day menus.

[Click Here] to download a sample nursery menu and see some of the tasty dishes being served in our nurseries.

Our nursery has a fully equipped kitchen where all meals are prepared and cooked using only the freshest produce - including fresh fruit and vegetables every day.

Each meal is carefully planned to meet each child's individual needs and to cater for any special dietary requirements.

  • We endeavour to provide children with a healthy, well-balanced menu everyday
  • Children are encouraged to taste new, different tastes and textures and encourage them to get involved, which is why they grow their own fruit and vegetables and then they prepare them to be included within their meals.

Meet Our Catering Team

Our Nursery Cook, Joy, has many years experience and cooks homemade meals everyday for the children to enjoy. She ensures that throughout the day the children eat their recommended 5-a-day.

Ruth, our Kitchen Assistant works along side Joy and prepares the tea-time menu.
