Healthy meals for your child
Meal times are a fantastic social experience for children. All meals including breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch and tea are provided by the nursery and included in the fee structure. Meal times are a very important part of the day at Belfield Montessori Day Nursery. Children learn to develop their social skills and independence by helping to lay the table, serve their own meals/drinks and also help with baking and preparation of healthy foods.
We encourage the older children to help themselves to a drink of water whenever they are thirsty. Water and cups are available throughout the day. Our carefully planned menus help ensure your child is provided with a healthy, well-balanced diet throughout the day. We are able to cater for individual dietary requirements and food allergies. Our nursery is a nut and pork free zone. All meals are prepared fresh every day by our in-house chef. We also pride ourselves in using home grown herbs from our herb garden and vegetables (at certain times of the year). Take a glance at our menu:
