Food and Nutrition

As a day nursery we are very much aware of the importance of
providing a positive influence on children’s knowledge, attitudes
and behaviour towards food and a healthy lifestyle.

The sharing of refreshments can play an important part in the
social life of the day nursery as well as reinforcing children’s
understanding of the importance of healthy living. We aim to
provide healthy sugar free snacks and drinks to foster a positive
approach to healthy eating.

We will display a weekly menu on the notice board. We will always
reward children for good behaviour by praising them and giving them
a sticker.
