Why Organic?
Our organic ethos is simple, we want to offer the best start in life for all children.
​
We are Coventry’s first Organic Children’s Day Nursery!
​
Organic food produce has been proven to contain more vitamins, minerals, antioxidants as well as no harmful chemicals or pesticides. We offer an organic food menu (sourced where possible) which provides a highly nutritious well balanced diet for all children.
​
We have 4 weekly menus.
Please view our sample menu below.
All of our meals are freshly prepared and cooked on site in our Enchanted kitchen, using organic food produce where possible. Our food is sourced from local suppliers to ensure high quality food is provided. Our home cooked meals and snacks provide a healthy and well balanced diet for all children.
​
We offer children the choice of either organic milk or filtered water during snack and meal times, as well as ensuring children have access to fresh drinking water throughout the day.
​
At Enchanted we cater for all children’s dietary needs and will adapt our menu depending upon individual dietary requirements. Information on food allergies or preferences is gathered during the registration process, documenting and sharing all allergy and dietary information accordingly.
​
We follow guidelines set by the Food Standards Agency, including information regarding all food allergens.
​
We promote healthy choices at meal times and encourage children’s independence by providing opportunities such as; pouring their own organic milk or filtered water and self serving food. All staff and children sit at the table together at meal times, supporting children’s social development while enjoying food as well as learning table manners.
​
We have fresh organic fruit and vegetables delivered every week!
