Feeding your child better

Cherry childcare is committed to providing good, healthy nutritious meals for the children in our care.   All our meals are freshly prepared in-house and are analysed for nutritional content using a software program produced by the Caroline Walker Trust.

Each week our menu provide a balance of protein foods, featuring a Pork, Lamb, Poultry, Fish and Vegetarian item using a range of tasty recipes that rotate over a four week period i.e. Tuna Risotto, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Mediterranean lamb with cous cous.

We encourage the children to have five serving of fruit and vegetables a day.  Every day we serve a minimum of two vegetables, at least one of which will be a fresh seasonal vegetable.  We don’t use canned vegetables.  Children also receive two fresh fruits in the morning and a different two fresh fruits in the afternoon.

The children are given whole milk with their fruit and drinking water is available throughout the day.
