Encouraging a Love of Nutritious Food

At each Little Hearts nursery, we have an on-site qualified chef with expertise in nutrition, food hygiene, and menu planning. Our seasonal menus reflect a variety of cultures, broadening our children’s experiences of the world around them. Regardless of your child’s dietary needs, we ensure they enjoy delicious and healthy meals, with fresh fruit provided daily.

We foster a positive relationship with food by making mealtime a social experience, where children can appreciate the colorful and inviting dishes on the table. Our dining environment is relaxed and homely, complete with tablecloths, centerpieces, and soft music. We sit with the children, encouraging curiosity about food and healthy eating. All our food processes are fully risk assessed, and we accommodate any food allergies or intolerances safely.

In some settings, children have access to their own allotments to grow fruits and vegetables. Many nurseries also organize trips to local shops to buy fresh produce, which they then use to create delicious meals together.
