Expert Approved Nutrition
Eating well for life, means starting early. We want to share our love of healthy, homecooked, tasty food with our children.
Ensuring Excellence: Our Accredited Menus
We believe that healthy eating should be an adventure. That’s why we’ve partnered with the experts at Early Start Nutrition to create menus that are as balanced and nutritious as they are delicious.
Every dish on our menu is freshly prepared by our experienced in-house chefs, blending the latest EYFS nutritional guidance with the comfort of a tasty home-cooked meal.
From the first bite to the last, we’re committed to nourishing a healthy start for your child and sparking a lifelong love for food.
The Kindred Chef's Club: Expertise in Every Dish
To ensure our food is excitingly varied and nutritious we created the Kindred Chef's Club. The club brings together chefs from across our locations, pooling their diverse backgrounds and expertise to plan and design every new menu.
They are focused on creating dishes they know the children in our nurseries will love. This collaborative approach helps us create mealtimes full of meaningful moments of joy and discovery for our children.
Supported Weaning: Designed for You
Weaning is a major milestone, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our policy follows the NHS "Best Start in Life" guidance, giving you total peace of mind as your little one explores new flavours.
Your child will enjoy options from our menu, adapted to their needs e.g. liquidised or mashed, depending upon their stage of weaning.
Safety First: Managing Allergies & Intolerances
We are dedicated to meeting all dietary requirements with robust procedures for allergies, intolerances, and cultural/personal preferences.
All staff receive extensive food safety training that is regularly refreshed and rigorously adhere to our policies.
We use a highly visual colour-coded placemat system to safeguard your child at every meal:
- Red: Allergies
- Amber: Intolerances & Dietary Preferences
- Green: No Known Allergies/Intolerances or preferences
All allergy and dietary information is securely recorded in both your child's "All About Me" booklet and the Kindred Satchel App before they start, guaranteeing accuracy from day one.
