Food Safety Information

At The Playhouse Nursery, we believe that nutritious food and drink are essential for children’s wellbeing. The Playhouse Nursery is committed to ensuring that safe and healthy practises around the storage, preparation and service of food are maintained throughout the setting.

The setting has set high standards of personal hygiene for all members of staff involved in the handling and preparation of food. Any person showing signs of ill health will not be permitted to handle food.

During meal and snack times, we will always encourage children to gain an understanding of how food and water is an essential part of growing big and strong. Our aim is to meet the dietary and religious requirements to promote children’s healthy growth and development.

We will ensure that all meals and snacks are nutritious, healthy and balanced. Children’s medical and personal dietary requirements are always known and respected. There is a dietary requirement form displayed on the notice board in every room. Parents/carers are required to provide details when their child is enrolled into the nursery. Dietary rules of religious groups, vegetarians/vegans are known and met in an appropriate way, making sure that they are always respected and valued within the setting. Our menu is carefully planned to ensure that children are nurtured with home-cooked food and nutritionally balanced diet. 

For more information, please refer to our Food Safety Policy located in the reception area in the Policy & Procedures' folder.
