Little Barn Owls Day Nursery will provide 3 balanced nutritional meals and snacks a day in our inclusive fees. All our meals are planned and home-made on the premises each day by our Nursery Cook, Diane Kench who has been feeding children for over 12 years in schools and nurseries. We use fresh fruit and seasonal vegetables and where possible free-range and organic produce will be used too. Our menus will be rotated every four weeks and reviewed quarterly.
Our daily menu will provide your child with their all important 5 – a day portions of fruit and vegetables.
Our Weaning Menus are planned for two phases of weaning from 4-6 months and 6-12 months. We provide home cooked pureed fruit and vegetables, meat and vegetarian meals adapted to be safe and nutritious for babies under 2 years old. After 12 months of age our meals are prepared or adapted appropriately.
The children do a lot of cooking at the nursery and will often eat what they have made that day. For example, homemade pizzas would be made by the children in the day as part of a guided activity and then eaten for lunch along with salad and a dessert to finish!
They also grow a lot of fruit and vegetables in the 'garden centre' and sample their own produce at meal times.
We can provide balanced meals for any type of specific dietary requirement including vegan children. Please let us know if there are any foods your child dislikes so we can provide an alternative for them.
The philosophy of our Forest Schools is to develop confidence and curiosity within children in their early years through positive outdoor experiences.
