Fresh, healthy food made with care
At Headstart, we believe that good food is an important part of happy, healthy children.
Our meals are freshly prepared and cooked on-site every day, providing children with nutritious, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. We follow current early years nutrition guidance and carefully consider childrenโs individual needs.
We want mealtimes to be more than just eating โ theyโre an opportunity for children to try new foods, develop healthy habits, become more independent and enjoy social time together. ๐

๐ Catering for every child
We understand that every child is different. We cater for:
- Food allergies
- Food intolerances
- Religious and cultural dietary requirements
- Individual dietary needs
- Babies beginning their weaning journey
Our team receives training in food safety and allergy awareness, including the safe use of EpiPens where required.
When your child joins Headstart, please speak to a member of our team during the settling-in process about any allergies, intolerances, dietary requirements or relevant medical conditions so that we can ensure their needs are understood and safely supported.

๐ถ Little ones have their own menu
For our youngest children, we offer a dedicated baby menu designed to support their individual stage of development, including children who are beginning their weaning journey.
