Healthy Happy Eating
Food,
Glorious Nursery Food
At Tommies, we believe that mealtimes are more than just eating. In fact, we believe they are a wonderful opportunity to support your child’s learning, growth, and development.
Our carefully crafted nursery food not only nourishes young children but also inspires curiosity and excitement around new flavours and textures. By providing delicious, nutritionally balanced meals, we help children build healthy eating habits, all while enjoying the social experience of sharing food with their friends.
Our approach is to help children develop their social skills and taste buds by providing nutritious carefully crafted nursery food that we hope will spark a lifelong love of tasty yet informed choices. When possible, we encourage children to serve food themselves from food stations, helping them to nurture their independence, practice making choices, and develop autonomy.
Food in, Energy out
Throughout a full day at Tommies, children enjoy a thoughtfully planned menu that includes breakfast, lunch, followed by fresh fruit and creamy yoghurt, and a light afternoon meal. To keep their energy going throughout the whole day, we also provide carefully selected morning and afternoon snacks. Every mealtime is carefully designed to fuel your child’s day of play, exploration, learning, and social connection, ensuring they receive the balanced nutrition they need to thrive.
Not Every Diet is the Same
We understand that some children may have food intolerances, allergies or dietary needs. We’re proud to offer suitable alternatives to meet your child’s needs, and our Special Diets Policy acts as a safeguard so that your child is not served something they can’t consume.
If your child drinks breast* or formula milk, please provide it in a container clearly labelled with your child’s name. Our staff will then prepare the milk in a bottle for your child.
*Please note, we are unable to store breast milk for more than 24 hours.

This collaborative approach guarantees that the food served not only supports healthy growth and development but also introduces children to a variety of flavours and textures in a safe and enjoyable way.
