The Court House
Meals at The Court House are freshly prepared every day by Lynne, our cook. At 10am the children enjoy milk and a variety of fruit; lunch is served in the Babyroom at 11.30am and at 12 midday for the older children; and tea at 3pm.
Lynne, works hard to create healthy and varied menus of meat and vegetarian dishes using home-grown produce, including fruit, vegetables, eggs and chicken when available.
Special diets and allergies are catered for and meals are carefully adapted or prepared independently for the Babyroom children. We use a six week rotating menu, one for summer and one for winter to ensure seasonal vegetables are used. An ‘international’ day takes place once per week when dishes from round the world are served.

Lynne, helps to serve lunch. The children have place names and sit up together with staff to learn table manners and the value of social interaction over meals. You can read what the children eat each day on the menu board. There’s usually a delicious smell drifting from the kitchen as well!
