OUR APPROACH TO HEALTHY EATING

We are fortunate to have a good sized, commercial kitchen at the centre of our nursery.  Our chef, Adam Wallace prepares lunch and snacks each day using fresh, local ingredients.  We encourage children to try a variety of different foods in line with the Scottish Executive Healthy Eating Guidelines.

The children enjoy morning snack around 9.30am which consists of wholemeal toast with various toppings, fresh fruit and organic milk.  Lunch is served at 11.45am.  We operate a four-week menu which changes seasonally. 

 
This consists of a main course followed by fruit and yoghurt.  Each Friday, soup is served with home-made bread.  On soup days, children enjoy a traditional hot pudding. (click on to 4-week menu).  Afternoon snack is served at 3.30pm, and this can quite often be home baking, home made dips with pitta bread or bread sticks, or sometimes crackers and cheese.  Again, served with organic milk and fruit.

A lot of the food we prepare is vegetarian, but we occasionally have meat, chicken and fish.   We can cater for children who have special dietary requirements, but would like to stress that unless your child is medically advised to avoid certain foods, it is, in our opinion, sensible to allow your child to allow as many different foods as possible.  We of course don’t serve sweet items, juices or high fat or high salt foods.  If your child has any special requirements, Adam, our chef will be delighted to discuss this with you.
