Nutrition and Mealtimes
Fresh Ingredients
We believe children should eat proper food. All meals are prepared daily using fresh ingredients by our on site chef.
Although not opposed to the use of meat we accept it is considered high risk and the nursery has opted for a predominantly vegetarian menu. Fresh fruit is served after each meal in place of a dessert.
Meal Times
Meal times should be a happy social occasion and staff sit with the children in small groups to encourage this. Like most adults children will have likes and dislikes and this should be noted for future reference.
The environmental health team for West Wiltshire Council has awarded Westview Day Nursery a five star rating for our food, kitchen hygiene and management.

Policies
Westview Day Nursery recognises that food allergies may be severe and possibly life threatening. Our allergy management focuses on prevention, education, awareness, communication and emergency response.
All information relating to a child’s allergy will be shared with ALL staff within the setting. It is included as part of our induction of new staff.
Known allergies must be put in writing upon registering with Westview. Possible symptoms to be aware of and the required treatment must also be documented. An allergy list is kept in all rooms where food is prepared and/or served and is updated monthly.
As snacks and meals are prepared fresh each day we ensure that alternative foods are given to children with allergies.
