Sample Menu
The following menu has been devised in consultation with The Voluntary Food and Drink Guidelines for Early Years Settings in England. Our youngest children are provided with suitable alternatives where appropriate, and food may be presented whole, chopped, mashed or pureed depending upon the child. Ingredients are fresh and local where possible and almost all meat products are free-range and from local sources. Eggs are free-range. Alternative meals are prepared for children with special dietary requirements (please ask for details.)
Milk and water are available to drink at snack and tea times. Water is offered at lunchtime. Water is freely available throughout the day.
The menu may change from time to time due to the availability of ingredients, celebrations or children’s cooking activities (please see our ‘Food Policy’ for further details.)
