Health and Nutrition

We have a 5 Star ***** excellent rating awarded by Kirklees Environmental Health Inspectorate.  We hold the Kirklees Healthy Choice Gold Award for the high standards of our food hygiene and healthy options on our menus.  The Gold standard is based on the high percentage of homemade food and the balanced and varied options including a good quantity of foods from each of the main food groups for under 5’s.

The Government and the N.H.S. are encouraging families to eat five portions of fruits and vegetables each day. We follow these guidelines when compiling our Menus and children are offered a selection of fresh fruit every day. Fruit and vegetables are key to a healthier lifestyle and we promote a healthy eating lifestyle in our nursery. We also encourage physical exercise and help children learn that exercise is fun by providing a range of stimulating individual and group activities in both the indoor and outdoor environment.
