Healthy Eating at Fordfield Nursery
At Fordfield Nursery we strongly believe in serving the best quality whole foods to your children because of the huge health benefits.
Every one of our meals is freshly prepared onsite in our commercial kitchen. We focus on giving the children a balanced varied diet using local suppliers and seasonal produce.
We aim to cut back on sugar whenever possible and we do not add any salt when cooking.
We offer a huge variety of delicious meals across a 4 week menu.
Children will experience a diverse menu and some of the food is planted, nurtured and picked by the children from our allotment
All dietary requirements are catered for in the nursery
