Meals

Here at Turtles Day Nursery we encourage and promote healthy eating.

If your child is joining us for breakfast, lunch or tea please provide them with an age and stage appropriate well balanced meal.

Meals should be age and stage appropriate as this also helps with speech and language not only nutritional value.
