Our Menus

‘Food choices were nutritious and reflected current guidance. The nursery chef was a valued member of the team who children were fond of, shown through their engaging interactions and warm approach. We observed confident children engaging in a lunchtime routine that promoted choice, independence, and positive social interactions in an unhurried environment.’

Care Inspectorate, 17th May 2024

Our nursery menus are seasonal and changed weekly according to a four week rolling menu programme, and were created with input from children, parents and staff.  We cater for vegetarians, vegans, and any other food preferences such as halal, along with allergies or dietary requirements including gluten and dairy free.  An alternative option is offered where children do not like the menu selection, such as the previous day’s lunch option, where available, or a sandwich, plain crackers, cheese and fruit.  All dishes are prepared on site by our trained chef and in accordance with the latest nutritional best practice guidelines. Here’s a sample menu from September 2024.
