Our Healthy Eating Menu

 

Meal and snack times at Butterflies are a time of social interaction and children are encouraged to sit together and observe good table manners.

 

We actively promote healthy eating within our setting and provide the children in our care with a varied menu.  Our menus reflect our commitment to follow up-to-date nutritional guidelines for children.

 

Children are never forced to eat anything they don't want to, however they are encouraged to try a little bit of everything and eat as much as they can.  In our experience children are much more willing to try new things outside of their own home!

 

We develop a weekly menu which changes every term.  Parents are provided with a copy and there is one available to view in our settings.  

 

We grow many fruit and vegetables in our own garden as use as many as possible when preparing our foods.

 

CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS AND ALLERGIES CAN ALWAYS BE CATERED FOR ON REQUEST AND MENUS WILL BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY.
