Mealtimes

Norland Nursery has its own in-house chef who prepares freshly made, nutritionally balanced meals on a daily basis. Menus are available at the nursery for parents to view at the start of each week (a sample menu is shown below). The nursery promotes free choice, encouraging the children to experience a diverse range of tastes and flavours.

From 10.30am -11.00am and 2.30pm to 3.00pm there is a selection of fruit and healthy snacks available for the children to choose from. Drinking water is available throughout the day.

Lunchtime is from 12.30pm – 1.30pm.  Fresh fruit and vegetables are on the menu every day. Where possible we use locally sourced products and no salt, sugar or artificial flavourings is added to food. We will of course cater for your child(ren)’s individual dietary needs, including cultural / religious diets, food allergies and intolerances.

High tea is served at 4pm. Children may need an additional meal at home.

We believe that mealtimes should be an enjoyable experience where good table manners and social skills will be encouraged.
