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.
Anthony Clarke is the nursery cook and has been working for the Kettering nursery for the sinc 2007. He has been consistent in maintaining high standards of hygiene and serves tasty meals that the children enjoy.
Anthony has both level two and three in food safety and is keen to attend any relevant training that will ensure he maintains his high standards. Anthony welcomes feedback from the parents and if you have any special dietary requirements that would need managing in nursery he is happy to discuss this with you.
For a small donation (to our charity) Anthony will bake your child a birthday cake, which he will provide for your child to decorate and share with their friends whilst at nursery.
