Tasty and nutritious meals
Best of both worlds
Quality assured tasty and nutritious meals, alongside in house freshly prepared food – we do both! We decided when it comes to nutrition for our little ones, there is no compromise. So, we didn’t!
QCE nurseries is proud to work in partnership with apetito to deliver our littles ones the tastiest and nutritious meal around. Our nursery cooks deliver home cooked meals and snacks alongside apetito’s amazing meals.
More than a meal
At mealtimes, it’s not just the food that matters: it’s a social time where the children and educators can sit together and reflect on the day so far with meaningful conversations. Children are encouraged to be independent, serving their own food as they build vocabulary around food choices. Across all our nurseries we practise Safe Eating protocols. Every day we provide Breakfast, Lunch and Tea, as well as snacks according to need.
A little about apetito
All apetito meals are developed by an experienced and talented Head Chef, supported by a dedicated in-house dietician and nutritionists to ensure meals follow all specified guidelines. Their exceptional food is made with quality ingredients sourced from the finest suppliers. As proud supporters of the British food and farming industry, they responsibly source the majority of ingredients from British & Irish Farms wherever possible. Apetito offers over 90 main dishes to choose from on their menus, covering all dietary requirements and allergies.
Our kitchens
All our nurseries have a dedicated cook who ensures the highest standards of hygiene and allergy management in our nursery kitchen. Our cooks have years of experience in the catering sector, delivering quality meals and snacks in a safe environment.
Field to fork
If you’re still not convinced about how much your little one’s diet and nutrition matters to us, maybe knowing that our nurseries have their own Allotment will. We ensure children are able to understand how fruit and vegetables grow and feel the joy of collecting in their harvest and preparing it for a meal.
