Meals & Food

At Maples, we like to have a home from home experience, our mealtimes are not rushed. Our mealtimes provide an opportunity for discussions between the children on their tables. We also encourage the children to self-serve their meals and drinks to promote independence and gross motor skills. The Nursery we offer your child Breakfast, Hot Lunch, Tea and all Snacks in between.

Our food is prepared and cooked fresh on the day and runs to a 3 weekly menu which is displayed - If your child needs a specialised diet for any reason we can cater for them no problem!

Meals are served in the main nursery and every child is encouraged to use the cutlery provided and interact with the other children.  We rarely have leftovers. We are proud to say we have a food hygiene rating of 5 stars (the highest anyone can get) and love to see full bellies and empty plates.

 

Consistency, compassion and communication are the values I appreciate from the team at Pebbles day nursery. Our son and daughter attend Pebbles 4 days a week whilst my partner and I work full time. I would urge parents to take advantage of all the settle in sessions, particularly as a dad. The staff show empathy and a genuine care and enjoyment every day which gives me confidence and I especially enjoy arriving and not pushing the bell, but rather watching my children, often playing outside, interacting with their peers and staff in a highly developmental environment in which the needs of the individual child are met whilst facilitating and mirroring the kind of behaviour, ethics and values which will carry us forward as a community. The team are led by a highly positive and forward moving individual. They work together to ensure the continuity of care and support for each child is provided and I would urge you to visit Pebbles to see for yourself.
