Mealtimes at Hopscotch are important to us, having our nurseries full of happy babies and children, eating balanced and nutritious food is an essential part of our day.
Mealtimes are a sociable, enjoyable times with opportunities to learn and share with friends, as the children grow and develop, independence and choice is supported with Toddler and Preschool children helping to set up for mealtimes and indeed clear away. From breakfast through to afternoon tea the meals we provide are prepared onsite by our nursery cooks. Offering a wide selection of foods, following seasonal menus to introduce a variety of flavours and textures they are supported by our Head of Catering and Operations Team. All our ingredients are purchased from reputable suppliers, and where possible fresh fruit and vegetables are locally grown, supporting local farmers and businesses. |

Encouraging children to make healthy choices for themselves is an important focus of life at Hopscotch and mealtimes form part of this, kitchens are centrally located within the nurseries and our cooks are familiar faces to both parents and children. With an open door policy we support our parents from weaning to joining school, we encourage active and enquiring minds with cooking and gardening activities across all our nurseries promoting an interest in food.
