Little Monsters Menus
At Little Monsters our primary focus for all meals is to ensure that we are providing our children a well- balanced combination of starters, mains and desserts whilst continuing effective nutrition in line with nation-wide focus on obesity.
All our meals are freshly prepared every day.- Our menus are designed to limit the serving of sweet puddings to our children.
- Water stations are always available to the children.
- We provide a balance of hot and cold teas throughout the week.
- Daily we also cook vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free and soya free alternatives according to the medically certified allergies, intolerances, and cultural guidelines of our children.
- If your child has any medically supported dietary requirements, please let us know on your settling in sessions.
- We have a strict No Nut Policy within the setting and refrain from using celery, crustaceans, mustard, or molluscs as these are recognised as allergens.
- We have coded our menu so that parents can quickly see any meals that contain potential allergens for your child. We hope your children enjoy our menu and we are always up for suggestions.
