Tootsies Private Day Nursery, which caters for a maximum of 130 children across two sites, serves them only meals and snacks that are free from artificial colours and preservatives and freshly prepared on site - including the home-made baked beans.
Chef Tristian Strover is a big part of Tootsies' success with nursery food. He joined in 2009 with extensive experience in the catering trade. He bakes his own bread, makes his own yeast and provides a great variety of dishes and seasonal foods. He monitors the children's likes and dislikes and adjusts the menus accordingly.
Parents can meet Tristian at open days, where they can take part in a masterclasss in cooking a meal with fresh produce and are offered recipe booklets to take home. Tootsies caters for all individual needs such as allergies or vegetarian or religious requirements. There is also a weaning menu for the youngest children.
