Serendipty's Weekly Menu's

Our cooks hold all relevant food handling and hygiene qualification and prepare and cook all meals from fresh.

Our menus are displayed throughout the nursery and demonstrate our commitment to offering a well balanced and varied diet.

Every child is encouraged to try at least 5 portions of fruit/vegetables every day. Older children are encouraged to help prepare, serve and clear up after meals.

We believe learning how to choose and enjoy different nutritious food in early childhood can provide a foundation for a lifetime of wise food choices

We encourage children to drink throughout the day and have water available in their level all the times

Each of our nurseries hold a Food Hygiene Rating of 5.

All special dietary requirement are followed including vegetarian, gluten free and any other food allergies.
