We recognise the challenges faced by busy working families. When your children are with us, their well-being is our top priority. We ensure they receive optimal nutrition crucial for their growth and development during these formative years.
Our approach extends beyond meals; we create valuable learning experiences. From our allotment, children explore the origins of food, participate in snack preparation and cooking sessions, and gain essential life skills like table etiquette, self-service, and portion management. We also instil eco-consciousness through lessons on recycling and outdoor cooking on campfires.
The meat we source from an award winning local butcher, offering quality and traceability. It’s exclusively English, sourced from trusted farms, ensuring superior quality over mass-produced supermarket options. Most meat comes from a local farms, meeting outdoor rearing standards, a stark contrast to the confined spaces typical of supermarket production.
We are currently undertaking an accreditation designed by the government in Early Years Nutrition (EYN) to ensure we are offering the very best, well balanced diets for your little ones to thrive.
We also provide baby milk of your choice including breast milk that you supply, and prepare foods for your baby once they start to wean in your chosen method, inline with our menu.
We design all our own menus with our children’s feedback and offer a Spring/Summer and Autumn/ Winter menu with diverse options to tickle them taste bubs. We aim to ensure your child is exposed to a wide selection of foods, helping to develop their palette and appreciate a broad range of textures, tastes and smells.
We provide a well-balanced diet to ensure your children get the right levels of nutrition required for their age and levels of engagement.
We also include herbs and spices for example cloves and cardamom which act as natural antiseptics to help boost the children’s immune systems, which are so vital in a nursery, especially post COVID.
We provide water and milk throughout the day for your children which ensures they are receiving enough Calcium in their diets for strong and healthy bones as well as staying hydrated.
Your children will obtain their recommended ‘5 a day’ with us on full day bookings and we celebrate cultural festivals through our food, as well as celebrating your child’s birthdays with a mini party and a cake.

We deeply value our partnership with parents to ensure every child’s specific needs are met, whether medical, cultural, or dietary. With adequate notice and within our guidelines, we’re equipped to accommodate a diverse range of special requirements, provided there’s medical evidence supporting these needs. Our commitment is to create a nurturing environment that considers and supports each child’s individual needs and preferences.
As part of our dedication to excellent care, we prioritise oral hygiene by incorporating daily teeth brushing sessions with the children. Beyond the practice itself, we actively educate them on the significance of maintaining good oral health. This routine not only instills healthy habits but also emphasises the importance of oral hygiene for their overall well-being.
