Babies’ meals and weaning

Babies weaning and diets are planned for in partnership with parents and carers.  Our aim is to provide as much fresh food as possible and a healthy balanced diet. We will puree our own fresh food from the daily menus. However you may like to provide baby food of your own choice, this is perfectly acceptable but please ensure that it is labelled with the child’s name.  Parents are asked to consult with senior baby room staff to discuss their feeding/weaning stage. Individual arrangements for each child will be set out at their start date. We welcome support all children that are breast-fed and we are able to store breast milk appropriately. For babies on formula milk, practitioners will prepare each child’s formula milk in the setting and parents are asked to supply their child’s own formula milk. This can be sent in to the setting on a daily basis or can be provided in bulk and practitioners will notify parents when we require more formula for your child.
