Here at Gable House Nursery we promote healthy eating and support the five a day campaign. Children are encouraged to choose from a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables which are bought and prepared daily for them to sample at snack times.
We encourage all our children to drink often and fresh drinking water is available in each class all the time. Research has shown that children who have access to water and drink fluids often are more alert and often more healthy.
Mealtimes and breaks are split throughout the day as follows;
- Our breakfast club for children who start between 8am and 8.45am serves a selection of cereals, toast and fruit or alternatively parents can bring a breakfast of their choice for us to offer.
- Mid morning snack time, where children have a selection of fresh fruit and vegetables and a choice of milk or water. Juice is also available on request.
- Lunch time. Healthy packed lunch or pre prepared meal.
- Afternoon snack time. Fresh fruit and vegetables and a drink of water, milk or juice.
- Hot evening meal. Served to children who attend from 4.30- 6pm. This meal is optional. We have a weekly menu for parents and carers to view. All our meals are cooked with the highest quality, fresh ingredients which incorporate plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables each day. Parents are welcome to sample our meals on request and a copy of the weekly menu is also available on request at the start of each week.
Our kitchen staff welcome suggestions from parents on recipe ideas and we will also cater for any cultural, religious or special dietary needs.
