Food and nutrition

We provide every child with healthy, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. Our seasonal menu is prepared freshly on site each day, and makes use of locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

We cater for a number of dietary requirements and considerations, as well as operating strict processes for allergy management.

Each day, your child will benefit from a breakfast, lunch, and light tea when staying with us for the full day. Snacks, fresh fruit and water are always available throughout the day to promote healthy choices both during and between meals.
