Meals & Snacks

 

At Abbey we provide all the children receiving full day care with breakfast, lunch and snacks. We are committed to promoting healthy eating through a well balanced diet, encouraging children to eat a wide variety of foods.

 

Meal Time Kitchen

 

The main meal is freshly prepared each day by our qualified cook and the weekly menu is displayed in each room. We cater for all dietary and cultural requirements at all times.

 

We value the importance of mealtimes and snack times as a social occasion and therefore staff sit with the children during mealtimes to assist them in using their cutlery properly and

encouraging good table manners.
