Nursery goes into catering

A Shropshire-based nursery owner who was unhappy with the food supplied to her settings has set up her own catering business and provides meals for eight nurseries.

Elizabeth Smith-Keitley, owner of Club 0-5, a 113-place setting in Telford, and Club 0-14, a 68-place nursery and out-of-school club in Shrewsbury, and her husband Paul Keitley-Fletcher set up Chefs2go after buying the Telford setting three years ago.

The couple use ingredients from a commercial company but source good quality ingredients locally. The nutritious meals are designed specifically for the 0-five age group. They are created by taking recipes from around the world and modifying them to suit the age group, taking into account the fat, salt, sugar, protein and vitamin content.

Chefs2go also offers consultancy services to both chains and individual nurseries that have kitchens and staff but are looking for guidance.
