Food

Good food is integral to our healthy active lifestyle at The East Dereham Day Nursery. Children enjoy cooking and baking at the nursery with firm favourites through to experiencing food from other cultures that run alongside our culture days where we celebrate life and food from around the globe.

Our free morning and afternoon snack times are sociable occasions where the children have the opportunity to enjoy fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables alongside breadsticks, crackers, wholemeal toast or pittas and much more.

Our midday meals are always freshly prepared from scratch on site by our nursery cooks and follow the nutritionally balanced guidelines of the Children’s Food Trust “Eat Better Do Better”. Menus change termly and operate on a two-week rota. Copies are available via our App or you can also request paper copies. Children are also welcome to bring their own packed lunch should they wish to do so and we can provide you with some helpful ideas for healthy lunch boxes.
