DS will maybe go to nursery next year, when he's 2.
I've found 2 nurseries that have 'Good' Ofsted reports. One is a parent co-operative and seems very nice from the prospectus. However, despite their promise of home-cooked food with no processed food I'm concerned that the menus are totally uninspiring and are made more for the cook's convenience rather than the kids health. Don't get me wrong, I've heard of much, much worse but I feel they could do so much better.
The ubiquitous cauliflower/cheese sauce dished up with peas and sweetcorn - please
Bread sticks, Dairylea sqaures on toast - hello! Very high in salt!
Fish and chips/tinned tomatoes and peas - the snack later that day is bacon butties - I imagine that is a toddler's entire weekly allowance of salt
The vegetables all seem to be served separately - for picky eaters they are surely better incorporated into a nice ratatouille or a lentil stew. there was no evidence of 'sweet' veggies which are far more palatable for wee ones.
Are all nurseries like this? Should I supply some alternative suggestions?
Or, [gulp] am I resigned to the fact that all nurseries provide crap food and I won't work until DS goes to school?
