Menus
Here at 1st Steps, we are committed to providing all children with a healthy balanced diet to ensure that every child receives the Government guideline of 5+ pieces of fruit/vegetables a day whilst at nursery.
We consider meal times to be a social experience that gives the children a chance to communicate amongst themselves and with key carers and other staff.
