About Red Kite Nursery

The Sleeproom

We have cots & mattresses available.

We have a separate sleep room that offers a choice of cot, mattress on the floor or pushchair depending on your child’s individual requirements.

Individual sleeping routines are discussed with parents to meet the needs of each child.
All bedding is changed and washed daily.

Outside Playtime

We have various different outside environments for the children to play in.

We have a front playground that invites children to explore bikes, games, sports equipment as well as a large grassed back garden with climbing equipment, balancing beams, sand pit, chalk boards and even a pirate ship.

We also have a fantastic mud kitchen where the children like to scoop and pour and make all types of fantastic and wonderful creations.

As well as these areas, each group has its own area to play in that provides age appropriate resources to encourage children to continue their learning and develop outside as well as inside.

The Kitchen

We provide fresh home cooked meals, low in salt but with lots of tasty nutritious locally sourced ingredients all cooked fresh by trained chefs.

We aim to provide a healthy diet which suits the needs of all the children. We provide vegetarian alternative throughout our menu. Our kitchen can cater for all dietary requirements and our nursery is nut free.

As well as our menu’s we provide a nutritious non- sugar based snack in the morning. This consists of a healthy drink of milk and a snack such as fresh seasonal fruit, plain and yoghurt rice cakes, crackers with butter, breadstick and malt loaf.

Our lunches are cooked fresh daily and are served from 12pm. We have a 4 week menu.

Tea is prepared by our nursery staff that all hold a qualification in food hygiene.

Meals

We run a four weekly meal plan. Each meal is cooked to ensure our children are receiving their recommended fruit and vegetable intake. Our menus can be viewed below.
