Healthy And Balanced Meals

We believe that good food and nutrition play a vital role in children's development. Our lunch and tea menus have been developed using the nutritional guidelines and the Government’s ‘Eatwell Guide’ to ensure each child's nutritional needs are met. Our on-site chef prepares fresh, homemade meals daily, catering for allergies, intolerances, and dietary preferences. We encourage children to explore new flavours, helping them build positive relationships with food that supports their long-term health and well-being.
We offer breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack and tea, dependent on the session your child attends. Drinking water is available for the children to access throughout the day, and milk is offered at breakfast and snack times.
If your baby is weaning, we will support this and offer pureed meals, introducing new tastes and textures as you would at home.

From Vegetable Patch to Plate

Encouraging a healthy relationship with the food we eat.
Our vegetable patch provides children with hands-on learning experiences about how food is grown. With guidance from our team, children help plant, care for, and harvest produce like pears, apples, and lettuce. Once ready, our chef uses the fresh ingredients to create delicious meals and desserts. This process teaches children the importance of healthy eating while promoting responsibility and sustainability.

Mealtime Involvement

Children are regularly encouraged to participate in the mealtime process. They gain independence and confidence from setting tables to serving their portions. Children participate in baking sessions, where they learn basic cooking skills and have fun creating homemade treats. These activities support children's fine motor skills, social interactions, and understanding of healthy eating habits.

Fire Pit Cooking Experiences

Our designated fire pit area provides unique outdoor cooking experiences. Children help collect wood, prepare food, and cook snacks under the guidance of our Forest School-trained practitioners. Children can enjoy warming drinks or toasted snacks using the Kelly Kettle or BBQ-style fire. These sessions promote self-esteem, teamwork, and respect for safety rules, making mealtimes more memorable.
