A Parent Said: There is always a friendly greeting in the morning and declan has made very good progress at nursery
 

We are always keen to adopt good eating habits from an early age and have devised a healthy lifestyle policy in our nursery environments.


Children are given a healthy balanced diet each day which includes at least 4 portions of fuit and vegetables. We offer milk and water to drink at mealtimes, and children have access to drinking water throughout the day.


Our toothbrushing programme is part of the daily nursery routine and is a fun and educational experience. We are part of the Smile Too programme which benefits children and their families by developing life skills and promoting positive oral health care at nursery and home



We encourage participation in the centres at all times, and parents, children and staff help devise new nursery menus in line with national nutritional guidleines. Menus are updates every season: here are some examples of our favourites




Homemade lentil soup


Beef Goulash and Mash


Cottage Pie


Popeye Pasta
