Inclusion
Dietary needs
Children are encouraged to serve their own meals and drinks, fostering independence, and to use a knife and fork, which improves their motor skills.
We also cater for various dietary requirements, and a vegetarian option is available daily. All of our cooks and staff are fully aware of the staff and children's allergens, and excellent practices are in place to address them.
Weekly menus are displayed on the parents notice board. Depending on the stage of the weaning process, young babies may have slightly different menu choices at times than other children.
