Food Menus & Information

Smarties Nursery has a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 the highest score achievable, awarded to us on our last inspection by Cheshire West and Chester Council and the Food Standards Agency.

We also hold a Platinum Healthy Eating Award from Cheshire County Council.

The meals provided are all nutritionally balanced and provide the children with a fantastic variety of tastes. We cater for all dietary types and we offer a vegetarian option each day.

Our Menus run on seasonal, 4 week rotas Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter.
