- Which healthy meal awards have you helped the nursery to win?

This year, we got gold for the Recipe 4 Health award, an initiative towards cooking healthy food using less salt and sugar. Five years ago, we won the Smile for Life award for fresh food and healthy snacking, and for using less sugar and having water instead of juice.
