Gentle weaning, in step with you
Weaning is a child’s first relationship with food. We follow your lead and your baby’s cues, introducing new flavours and textures at the right pace, and sharing notes at pick-up so home and nursery move together. For our youngest, we serve the breast milk or formula you provide, made up fresh when needed.
Every diet, allergy and belief welcome
At sign-up we capture each child’s individual dietary needs — medical, cultural, religious or weaning — and record them so every meal is safe and inclusive.

See what’s on the menu
Our sample menu shows a typical week, from breakfast to tea. Menus change with the seasons, and every nursery adapts them for allergies and dietary needs, so just ask your nursery team about your child’s.
Will my child’s meals be provided?
All of our nursery settings provide a full menu of breakfast, lunch, tea and rolling snacks. We work hard with our catering suppliers to ensure your child receives a balanced diet, and we accommodate all diets and special requirements.
Within our crèches we typically do not provide food, though we may offer fruit or have special events where food is available, you’ll be notified at drop-off and allergies are always checked and catered for.
All colleagues who prepare food hold a Level 3 award in Food Safety for Catering.
Who is the food provided by?
The Nursery Catering Company provides the food for Cheltenham, Gloucester & York: freshly prepared, nutritious meals each day, on a balanced 3-week rotation menu with a vegetarian option every day.
Holroyd Howe provides the food for Jubilee: freshly prepared, on a balanced 3-week rotation comprising fish twice weekly and meat on the remaining days, with a vegetarian option every day. Please speak to your nursery manager about any special dietary requirements.
Do you provide formula milk?
We chose not to supply formula milk, as parental preference is so broad. Please provide breast milk in the bottle, and formula as a carton or pre-measured powder container so we can make up feeds when required. Please provide enough sterilised bottles for all feeds due.
Can I provide expressed breast milk?
Yes, please provide breast milk in the bottle for each feed due. Milk feeds are served cold or to the right temperature; just let our team know what’s best for your baby. Please check whether your setting has refrigerated conditions and, where it doesn’t, provide a suitable insulated carrier.
How do you manage dietary requirements?
As part of our sign-up process we capture your child’s individual dietary requirements, whether medical, cultural or during weaning, and ask that you notify us immediately, in writing, if anything changes so our records stay up to date.
How do you encourage good eating habits?
Mealtimes are relaxed and social, children are encouraged to sit, enjoy their food and try new flavours, with a team member at the table to model positive eating habits. We respect cultural differences in eating practices, and you’ll receive updates on your child’s meals at pickup or via our nursery app.
Food is part of the My Ohana Way
Mealtimes nourish more than growing bodies, they’re moments of connection, learning and joy. Come and see (and taste) for yourself.
