At Cliffe House we believe mealtimes should be a happy, social occasion for children and staff alike. Positive interactions are shared and enjoyed at these times. We are committed to offering children healthy, nutritious and balanced meals and snacks which meet individual needs and requirements.
Our menus are planned in advance, rotated regularly and reflect cultural diversity and variation. All our menus include at least five servings of fresh fruit and vegetables per day.
We also have a ‘Cuisine of the Month’ where we celebrate food from around the world.
We cater for all individual dietary requirements including allergies and intolerances, as well as vegetarian and vegan diets. Please discuss any specific requirements when viewing the setting and where appropriate we will create a risk assessment in the case of allergies and work alongside parents/carers to put in place an individual dietary plan for your child. We use individual meal placemats at meal and snack times – these display the child’s name, a photo of the child, name of the allergen/preference, along with a picture of the food item. Although we do everything we can to support children with their allergies we MUST advise you that we cannot guarantee that the risks are fully minimised.
Fresh drinking water will be constantly available and frequently offered to all the children and babies.
