Meal times are a social occasion and an opportunity for children and staff to interact within our homely environment. Children are encouraged to try new foods from a well varied 4 week rolling menu. Older children are encouraged to select and serve themselves, really preparing them for school readiness. Children will also be encouraged to take part in preparing their own afternoon teas, encouraging their independence skills further.

At Muddy Puddles we have an experienced chef who prepares nutritional meals cooked from scratch and using only the best ingredients.

For babies, we will work closely with parents to follow in their feeding routines at nursery and work in partnership to decide on a weaning programme.

We welcome families and love to celebrate cultures through our menus so if there is a particular recipe parents would like us to include we would be happy to do this so all children get the opportunity to widen their tastes and knowledge of food.
