Our service promotes healthy nutritional choices for our children.

We feel it is important at this young age to introduce and educate our children about good nutrition and the health benefits of eating well. Allergens in food we provide will be listed as under Food Information for Customers (FIC) Regulation No.1169/2011 ( S.I.No.489 of 2014.) It is also our intention to ensure that good food hygiene practices are in place in line with relevant legislation.

Our staff always sit with the children and supervise them when eating and drinking during snacks and meals.

We do not allow fizzy drinks, sweets, chocolates, crisps, popcorn, nuts or nut spreads. This is communicated to parents.

We provide healthy meals freshly cooked on the premises by our cook.

Our Kitchen is HACCP compliant, and our meals are prepared by a qualified and experienced cook. Our Staff have also completed food handling training. Our menu has been developed to ensure that each meal is nutritionally balanced for growing children.

Food portions will be age and stage appropriate. Menus are reviewed and changed seasonally to ensure a varied range of food choices for children. The four-menu plan is displayed in the Service and includes a wide variety of healthy food to include servings of protein, starch, dairy, vegetable, and iron. Fresh fruit is always available.
