Our Nursery Meals

Healthy, balanced meals are an important part of every child’s day at RGS Dodderhill Nursery. Positive eating habits begin early, and our mealtimes are designed to be social and enjoyable experiences where children feel encouraged to try new things and develop confidence and independence.

All meals and snacks are freshly prepared on site by our dedicated professional catering team, Holroyd Howe. They are carefully planned to provide a nutritious and varied menu throughout the week. Children enjoy a wide range of wholesome foods, helping them to explore different tastes and textures in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Our team works closely with families to ensure individual dietary requirements, allergies and preferences are fully supported, giving parents complete peace of mind.

a wide range of healthy food and drinks to provide options to suit all dietary requirements and tastes whilst educating children on the importance of healthy eating.

A Positive Mealtime Experience

Mealtimes are valuable opportunities for children to:

  • Develop independence and self-help skills
  • Practise good manners and social interaction
  • Build confidence in trying unfamiliar foods
  • Learn healthy habits from an early age
  • Enjoy conversation and time together with friends and staff

Children are encouraged to serve themselves where appropriate, pour drinks, tidy away and make choices, helping to build confidence and independence naturally as part of the daily routine.

Healthy Snacks Throughout the Day

Nutritious snacks and drinks are provided throughout the day to keep children energised and ready to learn and play. Fresh fruit, healthy options and water are always available.

Supporting Every Child

We understand that every child is different, particularly in the early years. Whether a child is a confident eater or needs a little more encouragement, our caring staff create a reassuring atmosphere where children feel comfortable and supported.

By making food and mealtimes a positive experience, we help children develop healthy relationships with food that can last a lifetime.
