To change nursery because of menu options

[Confusedwithcake1]

So I'm returning to work soon and my LO will attend the local nursery for 2 days a week when 11months old. When I chose the nursery I was happy with the care, location etc and at the time I was happy with the menu options.

Fast forward now and I've looked at the menu options and now I think I want to look for a new nursery. Specifically because they serve cake as a pudding (wasn't on previous sample menu)

Don't get me wrong I love cake and know that LO will eat cake at parties but I was just hoping that a nursery setting would provide something less junkie.

My DH thinks it's fine as it's only 2 days a week but I'm not so sure as it seems unnecessary for a 11month old.. so aibu to try and find a new nursery based on one sample menu that lists cake as a pudding?

When your LO starts nursery they will probably ask you to fill in a sheet about which foods / menu options you want your child can have. In our nursery it is quite common for children to have certain foods excluded. Fruit / yogurt can be offered instead.

If I was comfortable with the centre I would just ask them not to give my child cake. I hate that as parents we are made to feel bad for wanting to keep our children sugar free. If you don't want your child to have cake then that's your choice. The centre I send my children to understand how I and many parents feel and make things like weetbix slice (tastes awful) the kids love it. Stick to your guns I say!

My daughter nursery also has cake for pudding - not sure how often though but they have an alternative if the parent specifies no cake/sweet things for dessert. We don't specify no cake but my daughter has never been a cake fan anyway (odd as I love cake!) and always chooses option b which is a bowl of fruit. Ask the nursery if they have an alternative - most nurseries will do.

Sorry - didn't reply to your OP, yes, YABU if you are looking to switch nurseries because they serve cake as dessert.
