Young and Smart Day Nursery Diet & Nutrition
We proudly participate in the Eat Better Start Better pilot scheme, a valuable initiative aimed at promoting healthy eating. This guide is designed to help early years providers, practitioners, and parents meet the early years foundation stage requirements for offering healthy, balanced, and nutritious food and drinks. By promoting a culture of healthy eating and educating children about food from an early age, we help ensure their well-being now and lay the foundation for their long-term health and vitality.
We take pride in promoting the well-being of children at Young and Smart Day Nursery by providing wholesome, well-balanced, and nutritious meals. Our goal is to nurture vibrant, healthy, and happy children in a supportive environment. Our dietary and nutritional programs are designed to give your child the energy they need for a day full of play, learning, and growth.
At Young and Smart, your child will enjoy a morning snack, a nutritious lunch and a delightful afternoon tea. Our menus, carefully planned and freshly prepared by our talented chefs, are designed to make mealtimes both enjoyable and educational. We serve meals in a family-style setting, encouraging children to help set the table, serve themselves, engage in conversation, and clean up afterward, fostering important skills and food etiquette.
We recognise that each child is unique, and we cater to special dietary needs due to medical conditions, allergies, or religious and cultural preferences. Please inform our Nursery Manager, and we will be happy to discuss personalised options to meet your child’s needs.
We are proud to be partnered with ‘The Kidz Clean Kitchen’, a London-based catering service specializing in providing 30 hours of funded childcare with a focus on serving hot, fresh, and nutritious home-cooked meals to nurseries, schools, and playcentres. Emphasizing simple yet healthy meals for children, their in-house nutritionist works closely with skilled chefs to ensure meals meet recommended daily allowances and FSA guidelines.
The Kidz Clean Kitchen also hosts a monthly “World Food Day” initiative, which supports the development of healthy eating habits, making them a top choice for quality childcare catering services in London.
