Major Minors Nurseries: Godalming
Menu
Our chef has developed menus which provide both a high quality nutritional purpose but also an educational opportunity for the children. For example where carrot batons
are used this becomes a colour and number discussion with the children. Texture, variety and the range of foods used is an additional way we seek to extend their learning.
In 2007 we started to introduce organic produce, and in 2008 this has been extended.
Approx 80% of the ingredients our caterers use are now both organic and locally
sourced to reduce our carbon foot print. Surrey suppliers are always favoured, for
example using Secretts for our fresh fruit and vegetables. We source our organic
beef from a specific farm in Berkshire. Our aim is to be 100% organic but quality
and availability are paramount. Please note that we don’t serve, shellfish, nuts, sweet biscuits or chocolate, although chocolate may form part of a dessert (e.g. chocolate sauce). We don’t add salt or use
frying as a cooking method. Fruit and/or vegetables form part of every snack and meal, with emphasis on always sourcing fresh ingredients where possible. For drinks we serve only water
and/or milk; and water is available to children throughout the day. We
may change the fresh fruit served at any given time to help ensure that it is fresh yet ripe. If the day’s menu has to be changed in any way the change will be displayed that day on the
Parents’ Notice Board.
Our catering team are able to provide appropriate alternatives for children with specific dietary needs covering a broad range of allergies and medical
priorities. Preferences based on cultural beliefs are also catered for as well as normal vegetarian preferences. Please ask the Manager to arrange a meeting with our Chef if you wish to
discuss any specific dietary requirements.
