Meals
We strongly believe in the importance of a well balanced and nutritional diet.
We recognise that some children may have allergies or food intollerances and these will be individually taken into account.
We our very proud to have our own in house cook who prepares varied and healthy meals in our own kitchen using local, seasonal fresh ingredients.

Babies are fed on demand for their milk feeds, with either formula milk or expressed breast milk, as is your preference.
No fixed times are attached to any feeding patterns although we like to work with the parents routine whenever appropriate.
