Nutritious and Delicious Meals at The Square Nursery School
We are proud to partner with the Yum Yum Food Company to provide nutritious, delicious, and well-balanced meals for our children. Our collaboration reflects our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles, supporting physical development, and fostering independence from an early age.
What makes our meals outstanding?
Top Hygiene Standards: We proudly hold a 5-star food hygiene rating from Kensington and Chelsea, demonstrating our commitment to the very highest standards of safety and cleanliness. Every meal is prepared in a safe, healthy environment where children’s wellbeing is always our top priority.
Support for Dietary Needs: We take food allergies, intolerances, and dietary requirements extremely seriously. Tailored dietary meal options are provided so every child can eat safely and confidently. We work in close partnership with parents, ensuring individual needs are always met with care, attention, and transparency.
Expertly Crafted Menus: The Yum Yum Food Company specialises in creating balanced menus designed for young, growing bodies. Each dish is made from fresh, high-quality ingredients and is carefully planned to provide the essential nutrients children need for healthy growth, energy, and concentration.
Variety and Excitement: Our menus are diverse and exciting, encouraging children to look forward to mealtimes. With a wide range of fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins, and healthy fats, we ensure children experience new tastes, textures, and cultural variety, supporting curiosity and broadening their understanding of the world.
Parental Partnership: We believe that mealtimes should be transparent and collaborative. Parents are encouraged to view example menus online, receive regular updates, and share feedback. Together, we ensure children develop healthy eating habits that continue at home.
Healthy Snacking: In addition to main meals, we provide nutritious snacks such as fruit, vegetables, breadsticks, milk, and fresh water. Children are actively involved in snack preparation, washing, peeling, and cutting fruits and vegetables, which develops fine motor skills, independence, and confidence in trying new foods.
Educational and Fun Mealtimes: Mealtimes are purposeful learning opportunities as well as times of nourishment. Children sit together, set the table, self-serve their own meals, and practise good table manners. These routines promote independence, confidence, turn-taking, and social skills. Our hot meals, served on a three-week rotation, ensure variety and enjoyment, encouraging children to explore new tastes and textures while developing their ability to use cutlery correctly.
Staying Hydrated: We place strong emphasis on hydration, ensuring children’s cups and water bottles are always accessible and regularly refilled with fresh water. Children are encouraged to drink frequently throughout the day, supporting concentration, wellbeing, and readiness to learn.
