Healthy Food
At Seedlings we aim to provide children with well balanced nutritious meals and snacks. We are an egg free setting, due to increasing number of children with egg allergies we took the decision to stop giving children products containing egg or traces of egg.
We have three menus for Monday to Friday which are rotated weekly during the month.
These include a choice of cereal, a healthy morning snack, a tasty main course and pudding at lunch time and a different healthy snack in the afternoon.
