HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS &

BALANCED MEALS

At Honey Bees Day Nursery all our meals are cooked on the premises every day with fresh, healthy, wholesome ingredients.

Our kitchen maintains a 5 star rating for food hygiene standards from the local authority.

We cater for a variety of dietary needs including for those children who are lactose/dairy intolerant, require a gluten-free diet or for those who have other intolerances and allergies.

You are also welcome to send in meals from home for your child if you do not wish to purchase our meals. Please see our packed lunch policy.

Packed Lunch Policy

Our rotating menu includes lots of children’s favourite meals served with fresh fruit and vegetables every day. Each day’s menu is planned with regards to including all the food groups.

We serve fresh water and milk constantly throughout the day. We also provide a range of milk-alternatives for those children who may require something different e.g oat milk, soya milk or coconut milk.

We frequently incorporate foods and dishes from around the world to teach our children about different tastes and ingredients from other cultures.
We limit the amount of sugar included in children’s daily intake at nursery to a small dessert after lunch which often includes fresh fruit or fruity yogurts.

We enjoy fresh local produce from the village as often as we can and also include our own allotment-grown produce such as peas, beans, root vegetables and berries in our snacks and meals.

Children can access our Honey Bees meals or there’s the option to bring a packed lunch from home (please see our packed lunch policy).

We promote good oral health with our children too (please see our Promoting Oral Health Policy) by serving fresh milk and water each day.
