Our Nutrition

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that our nursery has recently been awarded the prestigious Nutritionist Approved Menu Accreditation! This award reflects our commitment to providing an excellent standard of food for the children in our care. By meeting the rigorous food based standards set by public health nutritionists and experts in early years nutrition, we are proud to demonstrate a standard of excellence in food provision which works to support children’s future health outcomes and aims to promote healthy relationships with food. These standards go above and beyond the national recommended guidelines for food and drink provision in early years settings in England and we are delighted to receive such a prestigious award. This accreditation highlights our dedication to offering healthy, balanced, sustainable, and nutritious meals, ensuring your children enjoy the very best food and ingredients. Thank you for your continued support!

nutritious meals and snacks specially for Clarendon Cubs,
using only the best ingredients. 

With a wholesome menu packed with flavours from around the world, we can take children on exciting taste adventures, where they can develop a love for healthy food for life.

Frequently asked questions:
Isn’t it better to have a chef on-site!?
Even the best cooks often don’t have a detailed understanding of early years nutritional planning, allergen control and food safety. At Nursery Kitchen, we employ a team of
experts who specialise in preparing the best meals for young children. When a cook is employed to work on-site, nurseries will inevitably face periods of absence, which require cover. Typically, this falls onto the nursery team which can put
tremendous pressure on the nursery and take the team away from their primary focus
– the children.
By partnering with Nursery Kitchen, we can ensure that children receive consistently safe, healthy, and tasty meals and snacks.

How are your children's meals made?
Our team of expert chefs prepare meals by hand in our professional, SALSA accredited kitchen. We meticulously follow recipes created by our Development Chef and approved by our specialist Early Years Nutritionist to ensure that we provide consistently tasty and nutritious meals for children. Once cooked, our meals are packaged into recyclable foil trays, sealed, and chilled (not frozen). We keep the meals at the same temperature from that moment onwards,
moving from our kitchen, into our bespoke temperature controlled delivery vehicles, right up to carefully packing the meals away into the nursery’s fridge.
