Rainbow Cafe Menu
We all know that a healthy and varied diet is vital for the development of our children. At the Daisy Chain we want the kitchen to be a key focus of the nursery and good quality food is central to our aims.
Amanda, our chef, has designed a 21 day menu to ensure that the children get to try all the dishes and enjoy the variety that the menu offers. The menu of the day will be highlighted on the parent's notice board. All our sauces are made from fresh ingredients and our biscuits and cakes are home-made to minimise unnecessary additives into the child's diet.
As this is a new menu we will be looking for feedback, predominantly from the children of course, however we would be delighted to hear your views as well. If we find that a certain combination is not working we will change it.
We are happy to cater for all restricted diets and will work closely with the parents to ensure that their child is provided with healthy food. Wherever we serve meat, we will always have a vegetarian option available if requested.
