At Jack in the Box Nursery, we believe that meal times should be social, happy times where eating skills can be developed and wholesome food enjoyed!
Our nursery is regularly inspected by the Local Authority to ensure we are meeting standards and adhering to the procedures given.
All of our meals are carefully planned to meet the needs and requirements of a developing child.
Vegetarian options are available, and fresh fruit is always offered as an alternative pudding/ dessert.
If you have any more specific or special dietary requirements for your child, then these are dealt with at your child's enrollment and we aim to cater for most variations in diet.
For those children who have allergies or special dietary needs, we implement a care plan, so that you child is never put in a vulnerable situation.
At Jack in the Box Nursery, meals are not just about what your child eats. We take the opportunity to use this crucial time to aid their learning and social skills.
Developing the social aspect of meal times is also important to establish good eating habits.
This is why children and staff sit down together to have a ‘family-style’ meal at which good table manners are promoted.
Within Jack in the Box Nursery, we explore gardening and our understanding of the world. This enables children to understand where food comes from and how the different foods can be grown.
In addition to this, we celebrate different cultures and festivals which enables children to explore foods from around the world and carry out food tasting activities.
During your child's time at Jack in the Box Nursery, they will be educated on the benefits of healthy eating and will be supported with learning good habits that will continue to benefit them throughout their lives, as they move on to school and beyond.
