Child Nutrition

Healthy Eating

At Cambridge Day Nursery we pride ourselves in providing a healthy and active environment for your child.

Nutrition plays a large part in children's development and growth, without a properly nutritious, balanced diet they cannot thrive and develop as they should. We support children's development in every aspect including helping them to understand how to be healthy, growing our own food and undertaking projects on gardening. We are also accredited with the Food for Life award.

Menu

Below is an example of the menus we provide at Milton Road.

We cater for vegetarian, halal and special dietary needs. As far as possible we do not use preservatives, additives or processed foods. We cook without salt and we use fresh meat and seasonal vegetables, prepared daily in our kitchen by our own cook.

Mealtimes provide a great learning opportunity; the children serve themselves and sit together, helping to encourage sharing, positive social interaction, table manners and an appreciation of healthy food.

The menus are designed very carefully to ensure a good choice of fruit and fresh vegetables. Our menus are all about showing the wider world we’re providing tasty, nutritious meals in an environment that creates great social skills.
