Healthy Eating

At Wind in the Willows we believe in giving adequate, nutritional food & drink to children is essential for their well being. All meals are prepared on site by our qualified cook. We will ensure that all staff have good understanding of children’s dietary & religious requirements & of the need to meet these appropriately to promote children’s healthy growth & development. We also believe that staff should be made aware of the importance of providing a positive influence on children’s knowledge, attitudes & behaviour towards food & healthy lifestyle.

Our Menus

These beliefs are put into practice on a daily basis. The children are provided with their own place mat to use at mealtimes, these have all essential information contained on them (with regards to allergies/ parent preferences ). All information about the child’s food & drink requirements will be discussed with the parent/careers initially upon enrolment at the nursery.

What if my baby is on formula /breast milk?

You will need to provide this already made up or expressed in your own bottles. These will be labelled up with your child’s name and stored in the milk fridge & given to the child when required. We will inform you at the end of the day as to the amount their have taken that day. When it is time for your baby to move onto more solid foods they will embark on the new experiences of liquidized fruit & vegetable & build up to introduce meats & fish. We believe in working alongside parents/careers as to when this change will take place.
