Eating Well

We take Eating seriously at Little Thinkers nurseries because we know that a nutritious diet supports a child’s healthy brain development. Eating well is closely linked to increased cognitive ability. We know as adults that hunger or discomfort can stop you experieencing things in the same way.

Meet Andrea Reid, our nursery cook. She cooks all of our nuticious meals on site and ensures that weekly menus follow government nutrition guidance. We offer this service at no extra charge to the parent. When parents book a session that covers the lunch period, the child will always get a freshly cooked hot meal. If a child has dietry needs such as dairy or Gluten intolerance, Andrea will provide an alternative meal that is served alongside the other dishes. 

Our children are served their lunch at tables and are given serving dishes in the middle of the table so they can serve themselves the food. They sit in a collabaorative way so that they can be supported in the social act of eating with others.

We are very proud of our lunch offer and the quality of food we serve. In addition to lunch, the children who are in our setting in the morning and afternoon are also provided with breakfast, morning snack and afternoon tea. We understand the need to ensure that our children have the energy to enjoy a whole day at nursery!
