Our Recipes
The same nursery recipes, shared for home cooking, designed with everyday ingredients, no added salt or sugar and a child-centred approach to mealtimes.
Familiar Nursery Favourites, Ready To Enjoy Together At Home
If you’ve ever wondered how the same child who picks at toast at home manages to polish off a full plate at nursery, you’re not alone. These recipes come straight from our nursery menus and are the ones carefully designed for everyday meals - nutritionally balanced, packed full of flavour, and made with children in mind. We hope they offer useful inspiration for some family cooking and an easy way to try the same recipes in a home kitchen setting.
What Makes Our Recipes Different
These dishes are taken directly from nursery menus, giving you a chance to experience how meals are planned and prepared in our settings.
Recipes are created to support healthy eating patterns, focusing on natural flavours and a balanced mix of foods.
Meals aim to include a combination of vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates in appropriate proportions for children.
Seeing the same foods in more than one place can help children feel more relaxed around them, whether they eat, taste, or simply explore what’s on their plate.
Each recipe includes simple, age-appropriate ideas for getting children involved, from watching and stirring to scooping, dipping, or helping serve.
