Children bringing food in from home can cause cross contamination, due to allergens in their meals. For nursery staff, having to check food parcels brought by children from home is a time consuming process; we can take that stress away.
At Our Kitchen to Yours, we currently cater for many privately run nurseries with our daily meals services. All our staff members are fully trained on the Care Of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) and are educated on all the 14 allergens before they join our team.
At present, we cater for over 500 + children on a daily basis using a healthy eating plan called "Setting the Table". Setting the Table, launched by NHS Health care Scotland, is a seasonal revised nutritional guidance and food standard designed for early years' childcare providers.
Every season, a 4-weekly menu is created that consists of a main course and a desert. Any of the daily meals that contain any of the 14 allergens are clearly marked on the sheet that we provide with every meal.
