Children’s Nursery in Crawley and Burgess Hill

Nutrition & Food

Sussex Nursery - Nutrition and Food

Healthy eating is not just about what we put on the plate.

It is about educating the children and giving them the knowledge and independence to make healthy choices that will leave them in good stead for the future.

We don’t just serve food to the children, we actively encourage children to understand where their food comes from – with vegetable patches, baking sessions and encouraging children to try different and new foods.

Our teachers spend time helping children understand the importance of healthy eating and the impact on their oral health and taking care of our teeth!

We have a huge responsibility to make sure the food served is of the best quality

    Sussex Nursery - Nutrition and Food

    At Little Explorers we believe that our role is to support children in making healthy choices about their food as they grow.

    We aim to achieve this by providing healthy, tasty, varied menus that children enjoy.

    Our nursery menus are full of fresh ingredients and include a range of dishes that introduce new flavours and textures to children.

    Our menus are also updated to ensure seasonality. We incorporate the wealth of cultures we have within the nursery into our meals, exploring foods from many different parts of the world.

    Our meals are home-cooked by our fabulous chefs who use the knowledge gained to create menus that are not only nutritionally balanced but also delicious and loved by the children. Children also enjoy a range of healthy snacks provided by us and we are able to cater to any dietary requirements that your little one may have.

    What our parents say…

    Little Explorers is the most fantastic nursery. The staff are amazing – they are very caring and encouraging towards each child individually, and they are constantly finding new ways to help the children learn through their interests and play. Our son is excited to go to nursery everyday and is proud to put on his ‘big boy’ uniform! 5 Stars from us!

    Your staff really make a difference. They treat the kids including my Brody with care and love. The facilities are great also. I always get a detailed description of Brody’s day at the nursery, and he is always welcomed and sent off well. For so many reasons – it’s a big 5 stars from me!

    After moving into the area and struggling finding places for my son, he got a place at Little Explorers – and I couldn’t recommended them enough! He settled in perfectly thanks to the amazing set up, staff and happy environment. My newborn will definitely be joining the fun soon too – thank you all.

    When my daughter was two and a half she started nursery. She didn’t settle well so I decided to look at other options. As a result I moved her to Little Explorers. I am so pleased I made the move. She loved it from day one, looking forward to going each day. The staff were fantastic with her, providing amazing care, patience and support during her early years.
