Useful Information The Cottages aims to provide
all children with a nutritious healthy diet in line with our Healthy Eating
Policy. Each child who attends all day will be able to have at least 4 fruit and
vegetables a day, and if the child attends part time 3 fruit and vegetables a
day. We do not use overly sugared products, and we aim to avoid too much salt,
colourings, and monosodium glutamate.
8am-8.45am Breakfast consists of a choice of cereal
and milk and fruit (dairy free alternatives available) During the winter we
offer warm cereal to help warm the children up for the day. 10am A mid- morning snack of fruit with milk or
water . 12noon A
home cooked two course midday meal on a 8 week revolving menu which is available
on request. We sang a song before lunch: ”Thank you for the world so sweet,
thank for the food we eat, thank you for the birds that sing, thank you God for
everything. Amen” 4pm Afternoon tea of sandwiches, fruit,
biscuits/cake, sticks of cucumber/carrot or cherry tomatoes, sliced ham/turkey
etc. with milk or water. The children may also get a drink at any time if they
require. Cow’s milk and "Hipp Organic formula" milk for the younger children are
provided. Bottles for the younger children must be supplied
but all other utensils and crockery are supplied.
The Nursery provides all nappies, creams, wipes,
scented bags etc. If your child is in real nappies we ask you to provide enough
for the day and we can parcel them up and send them home for washing.
All children in the Toddler and Pre-School unit are
required to wear a blue or red overall. You can purchase these through John
Lewis or the nursery. The overalls range in price from ₤8-₤18. Each child is required to have complete change of
clothes at each session. This should be left on their peg in a shoe bag (NOT A
RUCKSACK). Children are also required to have a pair of Wellingtons and indoor
shoes or slippers. All children’s items including; clothes, bags,
shoes, etc must be clearly named.
The Nursery is registered with OFSTED and is
therefore able to receive Nursery Grant Funding.
