Really excellent’ practices were observed at the setting during the judge’s visit. All staff were observed to be invested in the nursery’s food culture and passionate about it. They firmly believe that children deserve the opportunity to explore new flavours and benefit from well-balanced meals throughout the day, ensuring all four food groups are included at every opportunity.
The nursery chefs are very creative and work hard to ensure the menus are well planned, varied and seasonal. They include a range of cultural dishes, from Korean, Greek, Italian and Indian dishes to Japanese delicacies.

This exposure to diverse flavours and traditions broadens the children’s horizons, providing a unique learning experience.
