At Ashworth View Nursery, we believe mealtimes should be a happy and sociable part of the day. These times offer valuable opportunities for positive interactions between children and staff, helping to build social skills and healthy eating habits in a relaxed, friendly setting.

We are committed to providing healthy, nutritious, and balanced meals and snacks that support every child’s growth and development. All meals are prepared with care to ensure they meet high nutritional standards and are enjoyable for children.

Every child is unique, and so are their dietary needs. Before your child joins us, we gather detailed information about any allergies, dietary preferences, or special health requirements. Where necessary, we work with parents to create an individual dietary plan and carry out risk assessments to ensure the highest level of safety and care.

We are proud to hold a 5-star environmental health food rating, reflecting our commitment to the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety.

As part of our daily routine, we encourage children to clean their teeth during their nursery session. Each child has their own toothbrush, stored hygienically in a Brush Bus within their playroom.

Younger children are supported by staff, while older children – or those ready to do so – are encouraged to brush independently. We use fluoride toothpaste that meets the recommended levels for children.

All of our staff have been trained in dental hygiene and proudly hold the Golden Grin award. This ensures that we consistently promote good oral health practices across the nursery in a fun and supportive way.
