Mealtimes

Breakfast, lunch, a light tea, snacks and drinks are provided and included in our competitive price.  We have varied menus and appreciate the value of seasonal and local produce.  All food is freshly prepared and nutritious. 

We have a local catering company who deliver our hot meals at lunchtime. These meals are nutritionally balanced, homecooked and delicious! The ingredients are locally sourced and of a high quality and many dishes have vegetables carefully concealed. The menu changes weekly and is displayed in the foyer with a list of major ingredients. Examples are shown below:

BABY MENU

For our babies we can provide a full range of jars, tins and packet meals from brands such as Organix, Heinz and Farleys, as well as freshly pureed potato, vegetables and fruits.  We begin with the basic blends and for more advanced weaning will include more lumps, textured and mashed foods.  We use meal planners and baby/toddler recipe books for plenty of variety.

Examples of foods are:-

• Spring Vegetable Risotto
• Root Vegetable Bake
• Bean and Chickpea Mash
• Cod with Tomato Rice
• Cheesy and Parsnip Spinach
• Spiced Cinnamon Apple
• Egg Custard with Stewed Pear

We also provide a full range of finger foods such as Rusks, Wholemeal Soldiers, Cheese Cubes etc. All foods are salt and sugar free.

We teach all our children the importance of a balanced diet and encourage an appreciation of food through cookery activities and food tasting sessions.

We aim to make mealtimes a stress free social occasion, whilst encouraging good manners and behaviour.
