Meals in the Clays

All of our food is prepared to a high standard, working to create inspiring and delicious meals for the children in conjunction with the Healthy Under 5’s menu. Healthy Under 5’s is a Cornwall County Council run programme to combat childhood obesity and ensure children are getting the correct nutrients, minerals and vitamins throughout the day based on a balanced diet.

Only the freshest produce is used and local ingredients are sourced where possible. Our chef is brilliant at thinking up new cooking crafts for the children such as ginger bread houses, cookie Christmas trees, Easter eggs, cake baking and many more.

All food is freshly cooked and centered around parent and child feedback. All food has a high nutritional value and meals are all balanced with a variety from day to day. We aim to help develop children’s healthy eating habits as well as giving them the opportunity to interact and socialise at meal times with other children and staff.

We offer Breakfast and lunch for our children as well as regular healthy snacks between meals. Water and milk is available throughout the day and is freely available. Children with special dietary requirements and needs are catered for readily and easily. We encourage children to explore new healthy foods and talk to the children about the meals as their feedback is super important to us as well as parents feedback. Menus are rotated every 2 weeks and changed twice a year.
