Heathy Eating
Busy Parents choose Paintpots Nurseries
Good nutrition in the Early Years
is vital
At Paintpots we continuously evaluate and develop our nursery menus because we know how important it is to offer children a nutritionally balanced diet. We also focus on giving positive experiences of food to help shape future healthy eating habits.
Healthy eating is encouraged in a variety of ways:
- Our menus are designed with different dishes being offered each day for a 4 week period. This enables us to offer a variety of foods encouraging your child to experiment and accept different textures and tastes.
- Food is freshly prepared by an onsite qualified cook. No packaged foods are used that contain controversial colourings or preservatives.
- Children are always offered different seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Meal times are organised to support the development of personal hygiene, table manners, independence and social skills.
- Fresh water is available throughout the day.
- Any child with special dietary requirements is offered a suitable alternative.
