Age-Appropriate Nutrition for Every Stage

Babies’
Nutrition

In the baby room, we work closely with parents to support each baby’s feeding routine, breastfeeding or formula. As your baby becomes ready for solids, we offer a nutritious weaning menu that match your approach at home, gently expanding their taste experiences while supporting a smooth and enjoyable transition.

Toddlers’
Nutrition

Our toddlers enjoy nutritionally balanced meals that support their growing independence and active play. We continue to introduce new ingredients alongside familiar favourites. At this stage, we nurture positive eating habits by helping children understand how food fuels their bodies, supports growth, and keeps them strong and full of energy.

Preschoolers’
Nutrition

Our preschoolers meals fuel encourage learning and play through self-serving portions to help growing independence and understanding of a healthy, balanced diet whilst also fuelling their lifestyles! We encourage curiosity around food, expanding their taste buds and helping them form positive healthy habits that last a lifetime.

Hydration and Healthy Habits

Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day, with drinks always within easy reach and regular hydration breaks built into the routine. We promote healthy habits at every opportunity, making mealtimes not just nourishing, but educational and social too.

Peace of Mind for Parents

We know that food safety and allergen management are top priorities. With Nursery Kitchen’s rigorous safety procedures, allergy controls, and carefully designed menus, you can be confident that your child is receiving meals that are safe, nutritious, and developmentally appropriate.
