the toddler room - mealtimes
At Asquith Day Nurseries, mealtimes are a special time of day and a pleasant social occasion.
our food
- Is freshly cooked on our premises.
- Is healthy and well balanced, including fresh fruit or vegetables at main meals and no added salt.
- Caters for individual needs - we will discuss your child's eating habits with you and any special dietary requirements or food allergies are displayed in the kitchen.
our staff
- Sit and eat their meal with the children, providing a family atmosphere and encouraging conversation and good manners.
our children
- Are encouraged to feed themselves. We start with finger foods and special cutlery for babies. Older children are given child size cutlery and taught how to use it.
- Learn necessary skills for eating together, including taking equal portions and good manners.
- Are encouraged to eat at their own pace and to try new foods, but are not expected to eat any foods they don't like.
