Dear Mrs. D,<br><br>Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.  It’s great to hear you are extremely satisfied with so many aspects of our early years provision. <br><br>We recognise the importance of mealtimes, so it is wonderful to know your child enjoys the foods you provided for him at home.  <br><br>Our skilled and knowledgeable practitioners support and encourage children to try the range of foods offered, as well as fostering children’s independence skills.  Information about the quantities of foods consumed by each child is carefully recorded and shared with parents. <br><br>Practitioners are always available at the beginning and end of each session to discuss individual children’s needs with their parents.  This is an opportunity for parents to raise any concerns they may have, thus enabling us to support children and their families effectively. <br><br>We have worked in partnership with our parents to develop the four weekly menus - they are nutritionally balanced and reflect the cultural backgrounds of those that use our setting.  They also incorporate many of the fruits and vegetables the children have grown and tended.  <br><br>We welcome suggestions as to how our menus could be further developed and would like to encourage our parents to discuss any concerns that they have about any aspect of the nursery with the staff or management team.
