At Ellergreen Nursery School and Childcare Centre, we aim to support and develop every child, so they can live healthy and active lives. We are committed to encouraging and developing positive attitudes towards health and well-being. 

All aspects of food within our school are well-balanced, varied and nutritious. Children enjoy a healthy snack during snack time and fresh water is available all day. It is our aim to make every day a ‘Healthy School Day’, with a focus on healthy eating and physical activities. We learn about hygiene and healthy choices through regular opportunities to cook and bake. Every child has the opportunity to grow and cook fresh foods throughout the year.

Parents are given advice and support on providing a healthy lunchbox for their child with a range of quick, easy, correct portion size, healthier lunchbox ideas.  Parents can get advice about how to prepare and serve foods safely for young children.
