Meals and snacks

Highwood has an on site kitchen and cook, who prepares healthy, balanced, nutritious meals for all our nursery children using the Early Years Foundation stage Nutrition Guide.
We recognise that it is essential for children's well being that food and drinks are adequate and nutritious. To this end we have carefully planned a 3 week menu where the meals are well balanced and the 5 daily recommended portions of fruit and vegetables are met.

We are happy to cater for any dietary requirements and are open to suggestions if your child has a favourite!

Morning and afternoon snacks are also provided. These consist of fruit platters and low sugar snacks such as breadsticks, plus a drink of either milk or water.

 All children have free access to water throughout the day.

 We have achieved a 5-Star rating from the Food Standards Agency which scores food hygiene, cleanliness and management on a yearly basis.
