Nursery World - Nursery Food: Award winner

Snapdragons Keynsham is influencing children, practitioners and
parents in the way they eat. Ruth Thomson visited to find out how.

This year's Nursery World Food Award went to Snapdragons' Keynsham nursery, near Bath. For chef, Raquel Kneeves, it was her second NW award, having won this category in 2012 while chef at Snapdragons Weston.

Keynsham's hands-on approach means learning about where food comes from, how it grows and how to cook is woven into daily practice, and as a key member of the team, Raquel is able to influence - and inspire - practitioners, parents and children about eating well.

Also involved in the quest to deliver ever better food - and food education - to both children and their families in Snapdragons' eight nurseries is operations manager, Mary Llewellin.
