Eat Well

Wiggles and Giggles knows that healthy, balanced, nutritious food and regular meals are vital for your child’s well-being and development. That is why we cook all of our food fresh on-site.

We set the menus, buy the ingredients and cook the meals. We cater for all dietary requirements and operate a ‘conscious kitchen’, aware of preferences, allergies and religious beliefs.

The children have fresh fruit and vegetables every day to ensure they get their 5 a day.  They have access to fresh water throughout the day and milk is provided at breakfast and snack times.

We also support babies who are weaning by introducing new food just as parents do at home.

And because we have our own kitchen the children are able to get involved too. We encourage our practitioners to make food fun. Cooking in the classroom is always popular with the children as they help to make pizzas, pancakes and fruit salads for example.

Healthy snacks are provided throughout the day and children have access to a fruit bowl at all times.
