We are Passionate About Good Food…

Fueling your child's growth starts with great nutrition.

At Kindred Nurseries we not only provide a healthy, balanced diet essential for development but also work to inspire a lasting love of food. Our menus are packed with flavourful, textured, and delicious dishes, freshly prepared daily by our in-house chefs.

We take your child's health seriously. We've proudly partnered with The Early Start Group to thoroughly review our menus to ensure they adhere to the latest Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Nutrition guidelines.

The combination of our expert partnership and the dedication of our skilled chefs guarantees your child enjoys a variety of home-cooked and nutritious meals every single day.

At Kindred, our chefs are more than just cooks; they are integral to the entire menu creation process.

To ensure our food is excitingly varied and nutritious we created the Kindred Chef's Club. The club brings together chefs from across our locations, pooling their diverse backgrounds and expertise to plan and design every new menu.

They are focused on creating dishes they know the children in our nurseries will love. This collaborative approach helps us create mealtimes full of meaningful moments of joy and discovery for our children.

At Kindred Nurseries, we know that weaning is a major milestone, and we are here to support you every step of the way.

We have a clear, safe approach to introducing solids. Our policy follows the latest "Best Start in Life" NHS Guidance, giving you confidence that your child is receiving the best care. We work with you to respect your personal preferences while always adhering to NHS guidelines.

Your child will enjoy options from our menu, adapted to their needs e.g. liquidised or mashed, depending upon their stage of weaning.

Your child's safety is our top priority. At Kindred, we are dedicated to meeting all dietary requirements with robust procedures for allergies, intolerances, and cultural/personal preferences.

Our staff receive extensive training on allergen management and safe food preparation for young children and rigorously adhere to our food safety policies. We always aim to remove risk rather than just reduce it.

We use a highly visual colour-coded placemat system to safeguard your child at every meal:

• Red: Allergies
• Amber: Intolerances & Dietary Preferences
• Green: No Known Allergies/Intolerances or preferences

All allergy and dietary information is securely recorded in both your child's "All About Me" booklet and the Kindred Satchel App before their official start date, guaranteeing accuracy from day one.

Our Autumn-Winter menus are designed to be nutritious, textured, and packed full of warming flavours; perfect for fuelling your child through the colder months.

We offer a great variety of comfort-filled dishes for your little one to enjoy and explore, including:

• Red Lentil Lasagna
• Roast Chicken or Haricot Bean Dinner
• Green Lentil and Green Bean Curry
