Meals

At Meithrinfa Pontnewydd, we acknowledge that early food experiences can set patterns for life. The importance of giving children health-building and delicious food is prioritised and every effort is made to ensure that, in line with our child centred atmosphere, mealtimes are designed as another enjoyable event in the children’s day. Our older children are encouraged to participate in serving themselves to promote choice and independence. Parent questionnaires are routinely disseminated to include children’s choices within the menu. At Meithrinfa Pontnewydd, a qualified cook is employed to plan and prepare a well balanced, nutritious menu throughout the nursery day.

Special Dietary Requirements

Meithrinfa Pontnewydd will make provision wherever possible for special diets and children with allergies, to meet their individual needs.
