At nursery Moksliukas we know that a varied and nutritionally balanced diet is essential for every child’s development and active participation both at nursery and at home. Meals are freshly cooked and prepared on site by our cook who holds a Level 2 qualification in Food Catering and Safety. All meals are made with fresh ingredients and comply with dietary and nutrition requirements. Hot, freshly prepared meals and snacks are offered to children five times a day. In addition to milk or water at meal times, drinking water is available throughout the day.

We make mealtimes enjoyable and relaxed, ensuring children develop healthy eating habits with plenty of patience, understanding, and encouragement.

Our commitment to your child’s learning values their participation, experimentation, and decision-making. That’s why cooking and tasting are part of our early childhood curriculum—giving children the chance to explore new textures, colors, and smells as they mix, pour, and measure ingredients. Involving children in food preparation also creates opportunities for meaningful discussions about healthy eating and nutrition.

We do not provide any food containing nuts to the children, in line with our nursery policy.

All nursery meals meet with The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) food and drink requirements.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework sets out a requirement which states:

                  ‘Where children are provided with meals, snacks and drinks, these must be healthy,
                   balanced and nutritious.’
                  ‘Fresh drinking water must be available at all times.’
