Congratulations on your Food for Life award. What steps did you take to achieve it?
Thank you. We carried out quite a lot of research into what would be the most sustainable, ethical way to purchase the food for our setting. We wanted to make sure the children eat seasonal and nutritious organic food but also have an awareness of the choices they can make as consumers.
We fully involve children in the process from growing in the garden, tasting sessions and in prepping and cooking their meals. Every day the meals are themed to a country linked to the ethnicity of one of the children. We link the learning to recycling, community trips to the fishmonger, and such like.
