Food at Little Loco’s
Happy tummies. Happy little people.
Nutritious food, new flavours and the simple pleasure of eating together.
More than a mealtime
Mealtimes are relaxed, social occasions. Our team eats alongside the children, modelling table manners and encouraging conversation, friendships and independence.
We prioritise nutritious food and fresh ingredients, with at least three servings of fruit and vegetables each day and portions suited to children’s ages.
For birthdays and special occasions, please speak to the team before bringing food. Cakes and other food should arrive in sealed packaging with ingredients and allergens clearly labelled.
A little taste of nursery life
A taste of our nursery menu
Take a look at a sample week. This menu is dated 8 September 2025 and is an example of the food we offer. Please ask the team for the current menu and to discuss your child’s dietary needs.
Good food, carefully prepared
Our cooked meals are supplied by apetito, with menus designed for young children and opportunities to discover different flavours. Allergen information is provided during ordering and on meal packaging. Please talk to our team about the options available for your child.
Every child has a place at our table
Dietary preferences
We work with parents to accommodate reasonable cultural, religious and personal preferences while offering balanced meals. Children with specific preferences use blue plates, helping every member of the team recognise and support their needs.
Allergies and intolerances
Please tell us about any allergies or intolerances before your child starts. We document these with you and take precautions against cross-contamination. Children with known allergies use red plates so the team can readily identify their requirements.
Little cooks, lovely discoveries
Supervised cooking gives children a chance to explore ingredients, food groups, different cuisines and where food comes from. We talk about taste and texture, prepare and share our creations, and practise washing up and tidying together. These playful experiences build practical skills, teamwork, responsibility and confidence around food.
