We’re delighted to announce the launch of our new fresh and exciting Spring and Summer menus created by early years nutritional expert Laura Matthews.
From Monday 19th May, our nursery chefs will be cooking up some amazing new dishes for the Spring and Summer months.
Each weekly menu is designed to nourish, by providing healthy and balanced meals which are fun and flavoursome, so children learn, develop and create healthy food habits.
We’re thrilled and honoured to have the opportunity to work with Laura Matthews on creating our nursery menus. Laura is a food consultant and early years nutrition expert and has worked alongside big names including Jamie Oliver, a well-known chef and food advocate. What more could we ask for!
Laura collaborates closely with our nursery food team and chefs to help create menus which are not only nutritious and delicious, but also support the wellbeing of every child.
Laura is all about nourishing little tummies with food that’s fun, balanced and backed by expertise, so we know our menus are in the best hands.
Our exciting new spring and summer nursery menu has evolved into something vibrant and summery, with a range of colourful dishes. There’s a strong focus on seasonal ingredients where possible, and using more whole foods and a wide variety of protein, dairy foods, fruits and vegetables, and side dishes to keep things exciting.
The menus reflect a balance of the key food groups needed for children in early years, and introduces new textures and flavours to help expand little palates.

How many meals your child has in a day will depend on the session hours that they attend. In a full day there will be an opportunity for breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch & afternoon tea, making sure they never go hungry.
Water and fruit is also available to children throughout the day.
All of our menus have been created by a company-nominated chef, who has years of experience in keeping the tummies of children filled with nutritionally balanced meals tailored to appeal to children’s tastebuds.
All of our meals follow the latest health guidelines and are fully reviewed by an expert, external nutritionist. Our meals are prepared on-site daily using high quality, fresh ingredients.
