We supply all meals for the children including morning and afternoon snacks. All meals are prepared on the premises and we encourage the children to eat a healthy well balanced meal at lunchtime. We offer a four week rotating menu which is always on display on our general notice board. If your child has special dietary requirements we will accommodate them, please list any requirements on the enrolment form and please tell your child’s room leader. We have a strict policy of no nut products and no food or drink is to be brought onto the premises by children or their parents. This is to prevent liability in the case of food contamination. It also prevents other children with possible food allergies, managing to find and consume your child’s snacks.

Staff will try to ensure that all children are seated whilst consuming food and drink. Children will not be forced to eat when they refuse, staff are trained to ensure that meal times are pleasant and enjoyable and an opportunity for positive interaction.

5 Star Childcare & ELC is registered with the local council and all staff preparing the meals has completed an approved “food handling course”. The centre has an approved Food Safety Plan which maintains high standards of food safety and hygiene.
