Healthy Eating at our Nursery.
Children need a well balanced diet in order to develop and thrive.
The first few years are of vital importance as this is the crucial
time when the foundations of future health are laid. Food and nutrients
are the building blocks, which help children develop strong teeth,
bones, muscles and minds.
Here at Si-lwli nursery our aim is to provide healthy, nutritious
food for the children and help them establish good eating patterns
and healthy attitudes towards food, which will be the firm foundations
for lifetime habits.
  As
a healthy eating nursery we provide meals, which are:
• Low in Salt
• Low in Sugar
• Devoid of Additives
• Not Processed or ‘Ready Made’
Here is a sample of our delicious menus:
The food is served in dishes on the table to encourage children
to help themselves. All meals have vegetables as a compliment or
are introduced into the dish. Water is served as a beverage. Following
the meal fresh fruit such as banana, strawberries, apple, melon,
plumbs, grapes or dried fruit such as raisins, apricots and prunes
are offered as a dessert. Special dietary requirements are always
considered when planning the menus and vegetarian option is available
on request.
