Nutrition

Our catering team prepares every meal on site, using locally sourced, seasonal produce and upholding exemplary standards of food safety and hygiene. Children are offered water with their meals and throughout the day, with milk provided during snack times. 

Our nursery chef is available to meet with parents at our annual parents’ evenings, where families may also sample dishes from our menus. 

Children regularly enjoy hands-on cooking experiences, and they take great pride in planting, tending, and harvesting herbs and seasonal vegetables in our nursery garden. 

We want you to feel assured that everyone at Wonderland Day Nursery is dedicated to providing wholesome, nutritious food and a positive environment that supports healthy eating habits. Our approach to nutrition is firmly grounded in current government guidance, and we remain attentive to all updates, including the latest recommendations on safer eating practices and nutrition guidelines. 



Our team continues to review and refine our menus, ensuring they offer balanced, appealing meals that meet national standards for early years settings. We also take great care to create enjoyable mealtime experiences and to help children learn about food in meaningful, age-appropriate ways. 

Our policies and practices draw on trusted guidance and recognised best practice within the early years sector. As this guidance evolves, so too will our provision, allowing us to maintain the high standards expected within our nursery. 

We look forward to keeping you informed about our ongoing work in early years nutrition and to partnering with you in nurturing positive, healthy habits for the children in our care.
