Healthy Eating

Healthy eating at nursery

We provide well-balanced snacks and meals to make sure they have all of the energy they need to keep active throughout the day. To find out more about our health eating initiative, contact Little Stars Private Day Nursery in Bangor.

Food for thought

Little Stars Private Day Nursery provides a healthy eating plan. The older children take part in a healthy eating scheme organised by Ulster Community and Hospital Trust. A balanced and nutritious meal is provided in addition to morning and after school snacks. Mealtimes are supervised to help them learn table manners and social skills.

Each month we provide opportunities for your child to taste and make foods from our chosen country e.g. Spanish month will include food such as paella and tapas.
