Food & Nutrition

 Knowing that Fennies has a long-standing relationship with the Early Years Alliance nutrition team means that there is a focus on a wide variety of aspects across the nursery that will help to provide a well-rounded experience for your child including a balanced and varied menu, a relaxed, sociable and positive environment to eat in, tailored support for children with dietary needs, and engaging food-related activities like cooking, gardening, and storytelling. Your child will be supported to serve and feed themselves and join in with mealtime set up and clear away when it is age appropriate.

Our registered nutritionists from EYA provide Fennies with a framework to develop healthy and nutritious menus for the children and to create a positive environment for the children to learn about why food and nutrition are so important to them in providing energy and nutrients to grow and develop.

Being a parent is a hard job, and feeding your child is often difficult and can cause undue stress on you and your family.
Here are my top five tips:
1. Include a variety of foods
2. Establish a good mealtime routine
3. Be a good role model
4. Expose your child to the foods you want them to eat
5. Take the pressure off

Probably the best thing about the nursery is the well-balanced variety of meals and snacks given to the children each day, throughout the day. My daughter eats a higher quality of food at the nursery than at home!
