Food and Nutrition

Food is a big deal at Little Sunflowers! We have a chef onsite everyday to cook everything fresh for the day ahead.

All our food is homemade!

Catering for dietary requriements

As we are able to adjust each dish individually to ensure that ALL dietary requirements are catered for, we do not offer alturnative dishes, we simply adjust each dish to suit each childs needs. Our goal is for children with dietary requirements, whether this is through personal, medical or religious reasons, is to adhere to these strictly but allow the children to still enjoy dishes as close to the oringal as possible. 

There are no nuts in any of our food

We have both cows milk and gluten free oat milk onsite, we are able to offer all dairy free milk except those derive from nuts.

Fruit, Vegetables and Eggs

All our fruit, vegtables and eggs are delivered fresh each monday from Old Covent Garden market!

Menus

Each dish on our menu is down as a basic dish for a reason! This gives our chef the flexibility to introduce different flavours to the dishes each week and use the freshest, seasonal produce that is available to us.

For example: 

SOUP - By having just soup on the menu we arent restricted to a set soup. We are able to introduce children to a wider variety of flavours and keep our menus interesting and current. One week it can have tomato and basil then carrot and corriander followed by leek and potatoe etc

RISOTTO - this can range from mushroom, pea and mint etc

Themed Menus

To celebrate different festivals or events throughout the year we plan themed days to allow the children to explore the traditions of different religions and cultures. This follows through to the food we serve throughout the day.

For example: A homemade chinese banquet to celebrate the Chinese New Year. A Peter Rabbit inspired afternoon tea to celebrate our pre-schoolers moving to "big school!"

Snacks

Nursery and Holiday Club - The two snacks served during the day are pieces of fruit. There are fully stocked fruit bowls so the children can pick whatever fruit takes their fancy!

Breakfast and Afterschool Club - There is a fully stocked fruit bowl which the children can help themselves to after breakfast and tea.
