Here at Pitta Patta it is our policy not to prepare food for children under 1's. This is purely to reduce the risk of a child having an allergic reaction to a food while in our care. We believe that by the age of one children would have been introduced most food groups at home so any allergies would be clear. We ask parents to supply all food for children under 1's and we will store it in the appropriate place and heat and serve all food supplied.
When children reach 1 we will supply all meals to them, once the parents have looked at our menus and informed us of any items that their child cannot or will not eat.
- for over 2's -
We offer a healthy balanced diet to the children and this means making sure that they get fresh fruit and vegetables each day.
Our menu includes plenty of white meat and fish and we are looking to limit the amount of sweet puddings for the children. We are aware of the RDA for salt and that is why we will be using other things to add flavour such as herbs and spices.
We have a cook who comes in daily to prepare fresh home cooked meals for the children.
Children who have allergies will be catered for but it is your responsibility to inform the nursery manager if any new allergies have been picked up.
Children have access to fresh fruit and water in all rooms.
