We believe that good nutrition plays an important role in giving children the very best start in life. The early years are an exciting time for discovering new tastes, exploring different textures and developing food preferences. At our nursery, we aim to make every mealtime an enjoyable experience while encouraging healthy eating habits that will last a lifetime.
Our approach is simple: fresh, nutritious food, quality ingredients and plenty of variety.
We are proud to offer delicious, home-cooked meals, freshly prepared each day by the skilled chefs within Hatton Adventure World using high-quality, natural ingredients. We choose locally sourced and seasonal produce bringing fresh flavours from our field’s to your child’s plate.
Fresh, Tasty and Nutritious Meals
Our menus are carefully planned to provide a wide variety of wholesome, balanced meals that children will love. Some of the delicious dishes our children enjoy include:
- Beef and spinach lasagne served with carrots and sweetcorn.
- Swedish-style meatballs in gravy with potato wedges, peas and sweetcorn.
- Breaded chicken wraps with mild salsa and fresh salad.
- Locally sourced sausages with creamy mashed potato, onion gravy and broccoli.
- Farmhouse beef and vegetable casserole with fluffy dumplings.
We believe healthy eating should be enjoyable, so we offer a variety of flavours, colours and textures to encourage children to try new foods and develop confidence in their choices.
Snacks and lighter meals follow the same healthy approach. We also offer fresh fruit and yoghurts alongside regular access to drinking water and milk.
Growing, Exploring and Learning
We love helping children understand where their food comes from. Where possible, we incorporate produce from our own growing areas and the farm into our menus. From freshly picked strawberries and tomatoes to home-grown carrots and potatoes which are grown on our farm and within the children’s vegetable patch they have opportunities to see, explore and enjoy the journey from growing to eating.
These experiences help develop an early appreciation of fresh food, nature and the importance of healthy choices.
All meals are included in the fees paid for by parents. Our menus are continually reviewed, and we are more than happy to cater to different dietary requirements. We encourage comments and suggestions from Parents with meal ideas or suggestions.
Individual Dietary Needs and Preferences
Every child is unique, and we recognise that their nutritional needs can differ. We work closely with parents to ensure babies’ meals and weaning experiences are tailored to their individual stage of development and requirements.
We are also happy to accommodate special dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances, including gluten-free and lactose-free diets. We encourage open communication with parents so that every child can enjoy mealtimes safely and confidently.
Example Menu – Week 1
Our menu changes every 3 weeks with children being offered a selection of delicious home-made dishes daily, along with snacks/drinks throughout the day, an afternoon meal will also be served to those on full days or on afternoon sessions.
