Nutrition
Here at NurtureVille Nursery we provide healthy and nutritious meals. We recognise the importance of ensuring a child receives a nutritional and balanced meal every day. We offer a wide range of diverse dishes and variety of different ingredients to help children explore their taste buds. We ensure all our meals are localised and presented accordingly for the children we cater for. We follow the Government Guidance on menus for early years to ensure we are following the correct guidance at all times.
We have an onsite chef who prepares our food fresh every day. Our chef at each setting both have lots of experience and knowledge in the different allergens and can accommodate this in our daily menus.
We provide a four-week rolling menu which is changed throughout the seasons to support the changes of seasonable dishes. Please see below an example of one of our menus.
We think meal times are a great social occasion, the children and staff sit together and enjoy chatting about things they get up to at home and how their day is going. The children also get to observe and learn how to be independent by using cutlery and self serving their own food and pouring their own drinks, this supports our overarching principle of children should be independent.
We are regularly looking at different ways we can change up our menus and enjoy listening to feedback of our menus from our children, parents and staff in order to help us develop dishes that meet the needs of all the children in our care.
We are inspected by the Local Council Environmental Health Department to ensure we meet all Food Safety Regulations. They are responsible for safeguarding public health, safety, and the environment within the jurisdiction. They enforce legislation, monitor various aspects of the environment, and provide support to residents and businesses. They inspect our settings regularly to ensure we are meeting the correct standards. For more information, please visit your local authority website.
Please speak to the manager about any allergies or special dietary requirements your child has so we can work with you to support this within the nursery.
