Healthy Options

Children attending Angel’s nursery will experience a variety of healthy balanced and nutritious foods. We believe it will give them all of the energy they need for a busy day of play, learning and development. 

Menus are carefully planned and freshly prepared on site by our chef,  Menus are displayed in our nursery and on our website, we work closely with parents if there is a specific dietary requirement for their child. 

A typical day at Angel’s starts off with breakfast followed by a mid-morning snack of fruit.

A healthy two course lunch follows around mid-day, some days we have a starter and main meal and other days we have a main meal and dessert. 

Tea time is around 4pm where the children can help themselves to the delights on offer.   Meal times at Angel’s is fun and an opportunity to learn. Meals are served family style, so that children can experience the social aspects of meal times, setting the table, talking about the foods they are about to eat and then clearing away after themselves.

Water is readily available to drink throughout the day
