At Playtime Day Nursery, we believe that mealtimes should be just as enjoyable and nourishing as playtime. That’s why, in 2025, we partnered with Zebedees, the UK’s leading nursery catering company, to make sure every child enjoys delicious, balanced meals each day.

With a strong focus on fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients, Zebedees creates a wide variety of dishes that introduce children to new flavours while supporting their healthy growth. Mealtimes are a chance to refuel, try something new, and enjoy eating together. You can feel confident knowing your child is receiving the nutrition they need every day while discovering just how tasty healthy food can be.

To keep your children propped up between meals, we also provide fruit and vegetable snacks twice a day, paired with a healthy cracker, yogurt, breadstick on a rotating two-week menu. Drinks include water, milk, or oat milk, giving children mindful choices throughout the day.

The menu revolves on a three weekly cycle and has been put together to go above and beyond the EYFS nutrition guidance. Early years settings provide an ideal opportunity to help every child eat well, enjoy a varied diet and establish healthy eating habits to take with them into their school years. A balanced diet for children provides a range of essential nutrients that children need to grow and develop.

(Vegetarian and all other cultural, allergy, and dietary needs can be catered for)
