Healthy Eating & Mealtimes
At Broomhall Under 3s, we know that healthy eating and positive mealtime experiences help children grow, learn, and thrive.
We’re proud to have achieved the Sheffield Healthy Early Years Award, which recognises our commitment to promoting good nutrition, active lifestyles, and children’s overall wellbeing.
Fresh, Balanced Meals
We work with Taylor Shaw, a trusted catering provider specialising in nutritious meals for nurseries and schools.
All lunches are freshly prepared off-site and delivered daily, following national food standards and taking into account dietary, allergy, and cultural needs. Menus can be found here.
Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home if you prefer.
Daily Snacks
To keep little ones energised throughout the day, we provide a morning and afternoon snack every day. These include a selection of fresh fruit and/or vegetables, served with milk or water.
Snacks are offered in small group settings to encourage independence, sharing, and good table manners.
Hot lunches are available at £3.18 per day
Vegetarian and allergen-aware options are always available
Menus are rotated regularly and shared with families
Tea Club
If your child stays for our Tea Club (4:00 – 5:00 pm), they can bring a packed tea or light snack from home.
This quiet, sociable end-of-day session gives children the chance to refuel and relax before home time.
Healthy Habits for Life
Throughout the day, children have access to fresh drinking water, and staff model positive attitudes toward food and mealtimes.
We encourage children to explore new tastes, learn about where food comes from, and develop the skills to make healthy choices as they grow.
Our promise: Every child will be offered nutritious food, a calm and caring environment at mealtimes, and opportunities to develop a lifelong love of healthy eating.
