Our wonderful cook, Alex Sobczak, prepares fresh meals made from quality ingredients.
Dietary Preferences
At Sunflowers we cater for dietrary needs, including allergies, intollerances and parental choices. All meals are made in a safe way, to look similar to our standard offering.
Healthy choices
Mealtimes are a social experience that staff and children enjoy together. Children are encouraged to try all foods on offer. If they do not like our meals, an alternative is provided. We encourage them to make choices and give feedback about their meals. We encourage good table manners and children love when they are able to serve themselves.
Bottle & breast feeding
Babies who require milk feeds are also catered for. We can offer them freshly provided breast milk and formula feeds prepared according to their individual needs.
Drinks
Water is available for all children throughout the day. We enjoy cow's milk or soya milk with breakfast, and afternoon snack. If your child will not drink water, we are able to discuss other options to keep them hydrated whilst at Sunflowers.
