Hidden Garden Day Nursery
About Us

Good food, happy mealtimes

We believe that healthy, tasty food and calm, sociable mealtimes are an important part of every child's day — and a lovely opportunity to learn.

Our food ethos

Nourishing bodies and curious minds

From first tastes for our babies to hearty meals for our pre-schoolers, food is prepared with care and served in a warm, unhurried environment.

Where we can, we love to connect food with learning — growing fruit, vegetables and herbs in our gardens, then talking about where our food comes from. It all helps children build a positive, adventurous relationship with healthy eating.

Fresh & balanced

Nutritious, well-balanced meals and snacks that give children the energy they need to explore, play and learn throughout their day.

Every need catered for

We carefully manage allergies, intolerances and dietary or cultural requirements, working closely with families to get it right for every child.

Social & unhurried

Mealtimes are a relaxed, sociable part of the day where children learn to sit together, try new foods and develop independence and good manners.

Growing independence

From self-feeding babies to older children serving themselves, we encourage independence and healthy habits at every stage.
