CARING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
AS IF THEY WERE OUR OWN
We are very proud of the food we serve at Evergreen and have been recognised and awarded by both Environmental Health and the Local Authority for using very safe food handling practices and providing children with exceptionally nutritious menus.
All our meals and snacks are carefully planned on a four week rota and prepared on the premises.Children are encouraged to try a diverse range of foods which are high in nutrition and low in salt and fat. The weekly menu will be situated at the back of your child’s conversation diary.
If your child is receiving bottle feeds, we are able to provide stage one and two milk but we ask you to provide you child’s preferred feeding bottle, which we will clearly label. All bottles will be stored and handled in accordance with guidelines produced by the Department of Health.
Fresh drinking water is provided and accessible throughout the day in trainer cups and where appropriate water bottles. During snack and meal times, children are given the option of fresh water or milk.
