Snacks and Meals

A balanced diet is provided for your child, menus are displayed on the parents notice board in the nursery. Children eat together, are encouraged to try all foods, then they can serve themselves second helpings.

Our kitchen is inspected by the Environment Health, the cook has the basic food handling qualification and her hygiene routines within the kitchen are monitored closely.

Breakfast is not provided but parents can provide this for their child to enjoy leisurely at Nursery to save being rushed early in the mornings.

Children's Outings

On filling in a registration form Parents sign to allow us to take their children on outings. Outings are usually pre-arranged, but sometimes, weather permitting, we like to pop out to the shops, park or library etc, with the appropriate staffing ratios.

Parents are requested to sign the appropriate consent forms.
