Meals

Orange Day Nursery

Our menus are devised in conjunction with feedback from parents. We aim to provide fresh balanced meals to all children at each meal or snack time. All food is cooked on site with fresh ingredients.

We encourage children to have plenty of fresh fruit, milk and water; we do not offer children any sweet, squash or fizzy drinks.

Water is available throughout the day.

We provide a well balanced and nutritious diet encouraging your child to develop sensible eating habits as well as having a great opportunity to learn acceptable social behaviour at meal times.

Children with special dietary needs can be catered for. A hot lunch and afternoon tea are provided as well as morning and afternoon snacks and refreshments.

Menus are rotated every 4 weeks and changed completely 4 times a year using seasonal vegetables and fruits.
