At Cleeve Day Nursery we believe that healthy fresh food makes a big difference to your child’s development.

Our delicious and healthy meals are all cooked on site from fresh ingredients, we have an 11-day rotating menu, which means that your child will get to enjoy all our meals even though they attend set days each week.

Our meals are all homemade and varied which give the children the opportunity to try a wide variety of tastes and textures. Our Summer Menu includes salmon & pea risotto, vegetable and lentil curry with basmati rice and naan bread, quiche with buttered new potatoes and mixed salad, and our Winter Menu includes more hearty meals such as beef stew and dumplings, roast chicken with all the trimmings, and chilli con carne with long grain rice & soured cream. Tea includes mini cheese boards for each child, a variety of finger sandwiches, toasted pittas with homemade dips and crudites.

Many of our desserts are fruit or milk based and use minimal sugar, our cakes include hidden veggies such as our beetroot brownies and courgette cake.

 If your child  cannot eat certain foods, we always provide a vegetarian option and can adapt our menu to suit any allergies or intolerances your child may have.

Our staff are qualified to follow any weaning programme you are following at home and our menu is adapted for our youngest children to include all stages of weaning including baby led.

Mealtimes are one of our favourite parts of the day, and a great learning experience for the children. Staff sit and eat with the children which helps creates a safe and relaxed environment.
