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.
The nursery's cook is Gary. He has been a qualified chef for a number of years but has been with us at nursery for over 2 years. All his food is freshly prepared on site sometimes using the children's produce from their own vegetable patch.
Gary incorporates a wide variety of multi-cultural dishes into the children's diet and enjoys carrying out educational activities with the children based around healthy eating.
