Food
Fortnightly menu –
We are delighted to offer a range of home-cooked, locally-sourced menus. Our menus work on a six weekly rotation. We provide substantial snacks as well as a home-cooked meal during the day. We value the social interactions that happen when children and practitioners engage in conversations around the table. We always respect dietary requirements, taking into account cultural beliefs and allergies. Our menus are designed in consultation with the guidelines set by Bristol City Council nutrition experts.
