Fresh Food, Cooked On Site Daily

Our menus have been designed in conjunction with professional Early Years Nutrition Consultants. Children have different nutritional needs to adults and as their bodies develop, these needs change. It is extremely important that the diets of young children are planned to be age appropriate to ensure they have the fuel to reach their potential.

Having a tasty, varied and nutritional diet from the outset helps develop a child’s palate, creating healthy habits that will last a life time.

What makes up a healthy diet?

The more colour the better – fruit and vegetables are low in calories but high in vitamins, minerals and fibre

Fuel for growth - diets rich in calcium, protein and iron support growth, brain development, and healthy bones and teeth

Leave out the salt and sugar – There is enough of these naturally occurring in foods. Too much can cause high blood pressure, kidney failure and dehydration in young children.

Super snacks – Children require more regular meals than adults. Regular snacks and fruit support energy levels and concentration.

You choose? - Choice allows children to experience different foods and develop a varied taste palate.

Testimonials

What Our Parents Think...

“Having found a need to relocate our daughter from another nursery, we feel that the move to Mighty Oaks Day Nursery and Preschool is one of the best decisions we could have made for her. The team are warm, welcoming and pay a great deal of care and attention to her emotional and educational needs. Indeed, she got on so well that we enrolled her younger sister too, and they both continue to show very pleasing progress.

“Mighty Oaks has been a second home to my son since he was 9 months old! It is a place where he felt totally comfortable. Thank you for making our baby boy feel loved and cared for all these years. Every major milestone from walking to talking, you have been a part of. Each person that has cared for him has shaped him into the confident boy he is today, ready for his school adventures.”

“Thank you so much for the fantastic care of our two girls. We are so glad we found such a brilliant nursery. You are all so kind and take such good care of them. I felt so relieved that the girls are having such a lovely time with yourselves, after a difficult time at their previous nursery. Thanks you for all the detailed updates.”
