Nutrition

Children's diet is very important to us and we have had input from dieticians on children's requirements. The meals are carefully balanced and cooked fresh daily on the premises.

We offer children five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. Breakfast, lunch a light afternoon snack and tea are served throughout the day.

At our full day care provision we provide a healthy diet to cater for any allergies or dietary requirements such as dairy free, lactose intolerant, vegetarian etc. whilst educating children in developing good hygiene and table manners whilst socialising with their friends.

Children are encouraged to wash hands with our fun Mr Soapy soap at child height sinks before snack and every meal time

Our kitchen is the pride and joy of our nursery and is available for parents to inspect at anytime. The nurseries have a designated cook onsite to prepare and serve nutritional meals for the children in our care. Both settings have achieved a very high standard food hygiene rating.

We respect the importance of cleanliness and hygiene. All our staff are trained and qualified to a minimum of a Level 2 food hygiene standard.

Sweet Pea Daycare and Sweet Pea Heath have achieved the “Gold Standard Healthy Snack Award” which we are extremely proud of!

We work closely with designed to smile where the children participate in tooth brushing on a daily basis. We have a visit every 6 weeks where the designed to smile team come in to train staff and monitor tooth brushing times. Lots of workshops take place when they visit to make this fun and enjoyable for the children. They will provide a new tooth brush and toothpaste for every child at nursery and one for you to take home.
