New menus for Spring & Summer

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our new fresh and exciting Spring and Summer menus created by one of the UK’s leading early years nutritional expert Laura Matthews.

From Monday 13th April, 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.

New menus

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.
