Freshly prepared meals
At Bowler Nursery, we have dedicated on-site cooks who carefully plan our menus and freshly prepare nutritious lunches and afternoon teas each day. Our meals are thoughtfully designed to provide a varied, balanced diet, incorporating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to support children’s health and development. We are happy to accommodate special dietary needs and ask parents and carers to keep us informed of any allergies or specific requirements.
Mealtimes at Bowler Nursery are a valued part of the day, where children are encouraged to build confidence, develop social skills, and practise good manners. Staff and children eat together in a relaxed, family-style setting, sharing responsibility for setting and clearing the tables.
The menu
Our menu operates on a four-week rotation and is updated four times a year to ensure variety and reflect seasonal changes. For our youngest children, we provide freshly prepared puréed, semi-puréed, or textured meals each day, tailored to their stage of development. Formula milk is offered until the age of one, after which children are gradually introduced to cow’s milk.
We offer a range of meals and snacks throughout the day depending on session times. Full day sessions include breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack, and tea. Morning sessions include breakfast, a morning snack, and lunch, while afternoon sessions include an afternoon snack and tea. All sessions include a selection of drinks, including milk and water.
