Menus

Here at 1st Steps, we are committed to providing all children with a healthy balanced diet to ensure that every child receives the Government guideline of 5+ pieces of fruit/vegetables a day whilst at nursery.

Instead, we provide fresh and tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks. Our menus are healthy, varied, and we cater for special dietary requirements, cultural food choices, allergies, and fussy eaters (wherever possible), so every child can look forward to tasty food they love to eat.

Food and snacks are served throughout the day to ensure that children eat little and often.

A light breakfast is served at approximately 8.15am consisting of Toast / Cereal/ Oats & Milk

Our children have snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon. It consists of a selection of fresh fruit/breadsticks or crudites with dips.
