New Organic Menu

Kinderkare is working with well known author and nutritionalist Ben Wilson to put new organic menus in all our nurseries. Ben runs One2One Nutrition and has helped everyone from commonwealth athletes and international rugby players, to people with severe medical conditions. More recently he has been working with pregnant mums & young children. When we approached him to help us he immediately insisted we start to use organic food.

He pointed out there are over 350 pesticides which are permitted to be used in conventional farming and that all of these leave residues which are in the food we eat. The long term implications of this are not known but common sense suggests this is not the food we should be feeding our children.

Organic food is produced according to a set of     principles and standards and is produced as 'naturally' as possible, free from trans-fats, genetically modified organisms and most additives. We will aim to provide all organic fruit & vegetables in every meal we serve, and hope to start the organic menu in March 2007.

Don’t forget our food is freshly prepared every day in the nursery by our cooks, and we now serve breakfast, lunch and tea.
