Healthy Options Focus
Our kitchen has a healthy options focus which means we aim to cook using fresh and healthy ingredients. We know our pupils enjoy the menu at Cottontails Day Care as we are rewarded with clean plates on a daily basis.
Why nutrition is important for pre school children
At Cottontails we believe nutrition is very important as pre school children require energy to meet the needs of rapid growth and development.
Our daily nursery school menu was developed with a focus on using nutrient rich ingredients high in protein, minerals and vitamins. Cottontails meals are low in fat and high in fibre to promote energetic play and sustained focused learning.
Cottontails snacks are healthy option selected from the 4 main food groups that are shown to promote growth in children. Vegetables, fruit and healthy nibbles mean super intake is at a minimum resulting in calmer, happier pupils.
