DD goes to a lovely little nursery, they have always had a chef on site who produces fresh cooked lunches for them every day, they have a good varied menu, use a lot of organic food, everyone very happy.
The owners have acquired 2 new nurseries in Guildford area (we are in London nr Richmond). They have decided to employ the chef they have now plus another and base them in Guildford in a bigger kitchen, then cook all the food there and transport to the nurseries in heated vans.
I am very miffed about this, surely the food will lose nutrients between Guildford and London. What if there is a traffic jam? It could be in there for hours. It can't be as good for them as cooking on site can it?
As she has a good hot lunch currently + light tea at nursery, I only give her a very light supper at home. Am tempted to say I will give her packed lunches if they persist with this approach and then give her a good fresh homecooked meal in the evening (she is picked up at 4pm so plenty of time)
Does anyone have any opinions on this? How do other nurseries do this?
