Our Kitchen
... nothing beats home cooked food!
 |
At Little Angels Nursery we know that giving children good nutrition is the best gift we can present them with. It's a tangible gift that is evident in their eyes, skin, hearts and bones.
Between being weaned off milk to the age of five, children are very active and grow extremely quickly, so need a diet which provides adequate amounts of calories and nutrients. With regards to weaning, we offer all our home cooked food as fresh puree for your baby to enjoy. Until weaning, all baby milk and any accompanying extras must be provided by you for your child.
We prepare home cooked delicious meals and snacks for our children, in our purpose built kitchen next to the Little Angels Room. Our menus include a wide range of foods, using fresh produce and including at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetable every day.
A sample daily menu:
Morning Snack
Mid morning children are offered toast, crumpets, croissants etc.
Home Cooked Lunch
Shepherds pie served with broccoli and carrots followed by Syrup sponge and custard.
Afternoon Tea
Assorted wholemeal sandwiches accompanied by cucumber and carrot sticks. Home made biscuits and yogurts.
We ensure that all mealtimes are a happy occasion, actively encouraging conversation and tasting of new food. The children sit at small laid out tables with their own cutlery and are served by a member of the team who eats with them. (The children are encouraged to lay the table themselves.)
Special Diets
Special diets, whether for reasons of health, allergy or religion, are catered for. If your child has a special diet, please come and see us and we can discus what you want us to do. You are welcome to provide any food you feel you need to or else you are very welcome to chat to our cook, who will put your mind at rest.
