The nursery group of 32 settings, which is committed to providing an 'environmentally sustainable and socially responsible world', claims to be the first early years provider to serve game to children.

Children will be provided with wild meat meals, including venison and orzo bake with mozarella and venison bolognaise, twice within a three-week cycle, totaling 3,000 wild meat meals per month.

According to Tops, game meat contains less fat, and as much protein and nutrients as typical household meats like beef, chicken, lamb and pork.

The vension being served to children at the nurseries comes from a country estate in the South Downs National Park, which carries out conservation work, aligning with the nursery group’s sustainability mission and ethos.
