Food and Nutrition

We recognise that the food our children eat affects every aspect of their lives; their mood, behaviour, growth and their ability to concentrate. Good nutrition is vital to a child’s health from building strong bones and teeth to all important growth patterns.

Playaway Day Nursery has its own in-house chef who prepares freshly made, nutritionally balanced meals on a daily basis.  Meals are available at the Nursery for parents to view at the start of each week. The Nursery promotes free choice, encouraging the children to experience a diverse range of tastes and flavours.

Lunchtime is from 11.45pm to 12.30pm each day.  Children eat in key family groups with their key person. Fresh fruit and vegetables are on the menu every day.  Where possible we use locally sourced products and no salt, sugar or artificial flavouring is added to food.  We will, of course, cater for your child’s individual needs, including cultural/religious diets, food allergies and intolerances. Vegetarian options are available daily.
