Mealtimes are Happy!

Mealtimes are happy, social occasions for the children. Staff and children enjoy lots of positive interactions.

We are committed to offering children homemade, healthy, nutritious and balanced meals and snacks. Dietary requirements are catered for. Fresh drinking water, milk, fruit and yoghurt are available throughout the day.

We use the ‘eat better, start better’ to plan our menus.

We promote self-help skills by encouraging the children to serve themselves at meal times.

Caring for Every Child at Mealtimes

At Conkers Day Nursery, we’re passionate about providing healthy, balanced meals in a safe and inclusive environment. We cater for a wide range of allergies and dietary requirements by gathering detailed information from parents during enrolment and working closely with healthcare professionals where needed. Each child with an allergy has their own individual care plan, and our staff are trained in food allergy awareness, food hygiene, and paediatric first aid to ensure every mealtime is managed with care.

We operate a strict nut-free policy and follow robust food safety procedures in line with our 5-star food hygiene rating. Our menus are thoughtfully planned with nutritious alternatives so that every child can enjoy delicious, healthy food that supports their growth and wellbeing.
