At Willow Den, we believe that mealtimes should be happy, social occasions for children and staff alike. We promote shared, enjoyable positive interactions at these times.
We are committed to offering children healthy, nutritious, and balanced meals and snacks that meet individual needs and requirements. Staff will ensure that the day-to-day food experience is carried out in compliance with the Care Inspectorate’s Setting the Table and Food Matters guidance documents in mind, however, children’s holistic welfare needs will be paramount, for example warm drinks in cold weather.
We partner with a healthy lunch supplier to provide nutritious vegetarian hot meals on a seasonal basis and 3 week rotation. Menus are published on our website for all families to access and allergies, dietary requirements and dietary preferences are all managed appropriately following relevant Health and Safety procedures.
