Food and health
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds
We believe that a healthy eating is the foundation for a healthy mind. To support your child's growth and development, we ensure they are provided with a varied, nutritious menu that contains the perfect balance of essential nutrients.
All of our food is cooked fresh on-site to help provide your little one with their recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.
We are highly attentive to dietary requirements, and happily provide delicious vegetarian, halal, nut-free, wheat-free, and dairy-free options for children who require them.

Making Mealtimes Special
Mealtimes are a wonderful social occasion at our nursery, and we use this time to gently encourage good table manners and independence.
To create a respectful, home-like environment, the children eat using real crockery and cutlery. Children are actively encouraged to help prepare and serve food for themselves.
Let's Get Brushing
As part of a fantastic local initiative across Lancashire, including right here in Burnley, we proudly incorporate supervised toothbrushing into our daily nursery routine. Under the gentle and encouraging guidance of our staff, the children practice brushing their teeth together, learning valuable oral hygiene skills in a fun, shared environment.
While this educational activity doesn't replace their morning and bedtime brushing at home, it helps reinforce excellent habits that will last a lifetime. By introducing toothbrushing at a young age, we are delighted to work in partnership with you to protect those little smiles, build their independence, and prevent the need for future dental treatments.
Please speak to a member of our staff if your child requires a dental referral
