Enjoying Meals Time Together
Learning to share and enjoy meals together from a young age has shown to provide many positive benefits that carry through to adulthood and is often a ritual that we appreciate and enjoy more as we get older. It is no surprise, therefore, that meal times are very important; we understand that healthy eating and nutrition during the early years is critical to child development. Having fresh meals cooked for our children each day was something which we felt strongly about when developing our nursery.
