Healthy Eating

Healthy Eating at First Steps

We encourage healthy eating and our menus, which rotate on a four-weekly cycle, ensure that all our children have a balanced and varied diet. Each meal includes a variety fruit and vegetables, and our full-time cook prepares all meals in-house using fresh produce.

A vegetarian option is always available and we have experience in dealing with food allergies and other special dietary requirements.

Children learn from an early age to feed themselves independently. Hygiene and table manners are an important part of the meal time routine and children learn to sit in small groups to promote interaction and development of social skills.
