What Will My Child Eat at Nursery?

When you send your little one off to nursery, it’s natural to wonder: what will my child eat at nursery? At Pippa’s House, we know how important it is for children to enjoy nutritious, balanced meals that fuel their growth, support their development, and help form healthy habits from the very beginning.

That’s why all our meals are freshly prepared onsite each day in our nursery kitchens by our experienced chefs. Each setting is equipped with a purpose-built kitchen where meals are planned with care and served with love. Our chefs aren’t just cooks—they’re an integral part of our nursery family, dedicated to nourishing every child who walks through our doors.

Balanced, Homecooked Meals

We provide well-balanced, age-appropriate meals including breakfast, lunch, tea, and healthy snacks throughout the day. Every dish is homemade, using fresh ingredients. You’ll find a variety of meals on our menus—from comforting cottage pie to vibrant vegetable curry—all designed to introduce children to a wide range of flavours, textures, and ingredients.

Catering for All Dietary Needs

We take allergies and dietary requirements seriously. Whether your child follows a vegetarian diet, has a food allergy, or requires dairy-free alternatives, we tailor their meals to suit their needs safely and deliciously. All meals are clearly labelled and prepared with separate utensils and strict procedures to avoid cross-contamination.

Mealtimes as Learning Opportunities

Mealtimes at Pippa’s House are not just about nutrition—they’re also a chance for children to develop important life skills. From learning to serve themselves and pour their own drinks, to exploring table manners and socialising with peers, every mealtime is an opportunity to grow in independence and confidence.

Our team works closely with parents to ensure you feel reassured and informed about your child’s food intake each day. You'll receive daily updates via our parent app, including what they’ve eaten and how much they’ve enjoyed it.

So, what will my child eat at nursery? At Pippa’s House, the answer is simple: healthy, delicious meals made with care, tailored to your child, and served in a loving, supportive environment.
