Babies
Our babies have their own special fridge in our kitchen and bottles are stored in a stand alone fridge which is only used for baby’s bottles to ensure they don’t come in to contact with other food and drinks.
From 4 to 6 months the babies enjoy a variety of pureed vegetables and potatoes. From 6 months pureed meats will be introduced to meals. Lumps are gradually introduced to their blended dinners. After this stage the children will follow the main menu within the creche ensuring they get the most nutritionally balanced diet.
We endeavour to cater for all your child's needs so please discuss any special food requirements you they may have.
