Nutrition

At Genius Gems, we understand the importance of providing a positive influence on children's knowledge, attitudes and behaviour towards food and a healthy lifestyle. These influences will help children to develop healthy relationships with food from an early age.

Our nursery chef will provide a diverse and enticing healthy and nutritious meals, all freshly cooked on site packed to the brim with vitamins and minerals to support growing children’s needs.

In line with the legal requirements drinking water is always available. Children can always help themselves to water from the water jugs available. We also serve milk (full-fat for under 2s and semi skimmed for 2+) for breakfast, mid-morning snack and afternoon snack.

We do not serve fruit juices or squash during the nursery day. These drinks can have negative impacts on the child’s health and it is better for them to receive nutrients from fresh fruit.

We provide children with breakfast, a two course hot lunch, as well as an afternoon snack and a picnic tea. We would generally expect children to eat another meal with their family after they get home. Staff are on hand to support mealtimes encouraging and practicing good table manners.

Children are encouraged to use cutlery, serve themselves from serving dishes and scrape their own plates clean when they have finished. Conversation is promoted during this time-sharing experiences of their meal. A fun and pleasant mealtimes and happy children, both enjoying and contributing to the whole experience.
