WHY DID YOU APPLY FOR THE AWARD?
It was really spearheaded by me and the kitchen. We always felt parents didn’t know enough about what we did, although we do open days and so on. I went online to see what accreditations were out there and was shocked to find there is no legal requirement to serve wonderful food in nurseries. You can serve whatever you want. The award recognises high quality and standards of food, which I was convinced we had.
HOW DID THE APPLICATION PROCESS WORK?
You have to work through a huge book, with lots of assessments to fill out on topics such as food quality, food leadership and culture, food education, community partnerships and parental engagement.
