Ashfield Nursery Gateshead and South Shields

Diet

All food is prepared on site and our chef provides a varied, nutritionally balanced diet. Special dietary requirements are also catered for. Parents of babies are asked to provide bottles or breast milk with bottles.

Nutrition Strategy
We have contracted with a dietician from South Tyneside Hospital to work with the catering and management staff at Stanhope Rd and Ashfield Court to help with the planning of healthy, balanced, nutritious menu for the children.

Supporting this initiative, 8 staff at Stanhope Rd are undertaking the NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Nutrition & Health.

The benefits of this programme will be disseminated across all group nurseries during 2007.

Toileting

Children who are toilet trained are encouraged in a positive manner. We make this a fun activity in partnership with parents.

Clothes

Parents are asked to provide a spare set of labelled clothes.

Cold weather clothes, hot weather hats and sun creams should also be supplied.

Parents of babies are asked to provide nappies and wipes.
