Healthy, fresh, locally sourced food to fuel their day

Once Upon a Time provides delicious, healthy and nutritious meals for the children. We use local suppliers and meals are prepared daily using fresh, seasonal ingredients. All of the food menus meet and exceed the government's compulsory minimum nutritional requirements. 

You can rest assured that the meal we provide for your child each day will be nutritionally balanced and provide them with all the goodness required for healthy growth, mental development and the best possible start in life.

Our meals also include a wide range of flavours, textures and colours to make them interesting, fun and enjoyable. Good habits start early and what your child eats now will determines their choices and eating patterns in later life.

What the parents say

“A wonderful friendly home from home environment. I’ve had 2 daughters at Once Upon a Time and they have both been happy every day. They have been there full time for 6 months and I could not have asked for a better place for them.”

R. Wistow

“We are grateful to the nursery and the staff for their hard work and care. Our eldest son enjoyed preschool at Once Upon a Time and benefited from their support when moving into reception and starting school. We have been delighted with recent improvements; better communication between nursery and home, parents' evenings, and trips to the local park. Our youngest son enjoys his time at nursery and is very happy there, thanks to all the staff.”

R. Watson

“Mia has been at the nursery since she was 11 months old (she is now 3 and a half) and has thrived there. She loves attending and always tells us what fun she’s had doing arts and crafts, dressing up, singing, dancing and reading. It’s a very happy place.”
