Food And Nutrition
We provide all of the children at the nursery with a very healthy and nutritious diet, with no expense spared.
It is recommended that you should benefit from at least 5 fruit and vegetables a day… our children usually benefit from about 10! Virtually everything that we serve to the children is organic.
We source the vast majority of the food that we serve locally, from Unicorn, the local organic wholefood cooperative, and The Cheese Hamlet and Evans' fish shop in Didsbury Village, and we incorporate all of these healthy ingredients into a wide array of delicious dishes. We make all of our own (organic) yoghurts and jellies, and our purees for the babies are also made in-house, consisting of many different kinds of (all organic) fruit and vegetables, all of which have proven very popular with the children.
We do this because we believe that an excellent diet is a vital element of a good, healthy upbringing. We endeavour to teach the children the importance of healthy eating: they even help us to pick apples and plums from our trees in the garden!
