Tiddly Winks Nursery Menu

Meals at Tiddly Winks are a sociable time, where children sit together with staff. We aim to promote concepts of healthy eating, good table manners and appropriate hygiene practices relating to meal times. Staff sit with the children talking and encouraging good behaviour.

We work closely with the East Surrey Dental Department, Early Years and Ofsted, in choosing the foods we offer to the children. Following this course, children are offered fresh fruit after every mealtime, as an alternative to sweetened puddings.

Lunch time is always a hot cooked meal. There is a printed menu in the nursery, so that you can see what your child has been offered daily; we cater carefully to combine healthy food with those that children actually like to eat! Fresh fruit is offered after every meal instead of a sugary dessert, and fresh vegetables are offered daily.

At tea time we encorage the children to take part in the preparation, developing indedpendece and use of cutlery skills. Hence tea time is based on filled and spreadable items ~ wholemeal bread or toast, pitta, crumpets, rolls etc. There is always a choice of fillings, which include: marmite, cheese or other savoury spreads.

It is our practice to cater for different diets according to the needs of our children and your preferences. Vegetarian, wheat free or dairy free diets are easily accommodated daily. We also support Baby Led Weaning.
