Food

Food   is   often   functional   at   best   in   childcare,   but   for   us   it   is   a   central   part   of   how we look after your child. Based   on   the   maxim:   “What   you   eat   is   what   you   are”,   we   prepare   menus   weekly to    provide    a    balanced    diet,    across    the    week,    using    only    the    highest    quality seasonal   produce   including:   organic,   free   range,   farm   assured   and   fair   trade. This also   minimizes   the   levels   of   antibiotics,   growth   promoters   and   pesticides   your child will ingest whilst in our care. We   also   use   our   menus   as   a   way   to   introduce   new   and varied experiences to the children via international dishes. All   dietary   needs   are   catered   for,   be   they   on   health,   moral or religious grounds.
