Nutritious & Balanced

Every meal we prepare is developed in consultation with child nutritionists to ensure it provides the right balance of nutrients for growing bodies and active minds. We carefully select fresh ingredients from trusted local suppliers and design each dish to support healthy development without compromising on taste. From hearty mains to wholesome sides, every portion is thoughtfully composed to include the perfect mix of proteins, carbohydrates, and essential vitamins and minerals.

Our goal is to make nutritious eating second nature for children. We avoid processed foods, added salt, and artificial additives, focusing instead on natural, seasonal produce that delivers both nourishment and flavor. The result is a menu that helps children form positive eating habits early in life, while giving parents and nurseries confidence that every meal served is genuinely beneficial.

Reliable Delivery

When it comes to feeding children, reliability is everything. Our delivery system is built around punctuality and consistency, ensuring that meals arrive fresh, hot, and on time every single day. We coordinate our kitchen schedules with nursery timetables, so there are no delays, no missing items, and no disruptions to your daily routine. Our logistics team monitors every delivery to guarantee that your meals arrive in perfect condition, ready to serve.

We understand that nurseries have enough to manage without worrying about meal times. That’s why our service is completely hands-off for you. We handle preparation, packaging, and transportation, allowing your team to focus on what truly matters: caring for the children. Whether it’s a normal weekday or a busy event day, you can count on us to deliver exactly what you need, when you need it.

Inclusive for All Diets

Every child deserves to enjoy mealtime, regardless of their dietary requirements or cultural preferences. We take inclusion seriously, offering tailored menus that cater for allergies, intolerances, and special diets. Whether your nursery has children who are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, or require allergen-sensitive options, our kitchen ensures that every meal is carefully prepared with safety and respect in mind.

Our team works closely with nursery managers to collect and maintain detailed dietary information for each child. This ensures every meal delivered is appropriate and safe, right down to ingredient sourcing and cross-contamination control. We pride ourselves on creating inclusive menus that don’t feel restrictive but instead celebrate diversity through taste and variety, helping every child feel seen, cared for, and nourished.

Scratch Cooked

At Care Catering, we believe that great food starts from scratch. Every sauce, soup, and side is freshly made in our kitchen by skilled chefs who care about quality and flavor. We avoid pre-made mixes and frozen shortcuts, focusing instead on authentic cooking methods that bring out the best in every ingredient. From slow-cooked stews to oven-roasted vegetables, our dishes are crafted with care and patience, the way homemade meals should be.

Cooking from scratch means we can maintain full control over the nutritional value, taste, and texture of every dish we serve. It also allows us to adapt recipes seasonally, incorporating the freshest local produce available. This approach not only enhances the quality of our meals but also reduces food waste and supports local farms. For nurseries, it means peace of mind knowing that every meal has been prepared thoughtfully, just as you would make it at home.

Easy Ordering

Our online ordering system is designed to make your life easier. With just a few clicks, nursery managers can view weekly menus, select quantities, and place orders in advance. The interface is intuitive and mobile-friendly, allowing you to make quick adjustments whenever needed. You’ll receive instant confirmation and delivery details, giving you full transparency over your orders and schedules.

We also take care of those inevitable last-minute changes. Whether it’s covering staff holidays or adapting to fluctuating attendance numbers, our support team is always ready to assist. We believe that ordering should be simple and stress-free, freeing up your time for the more important parts of your day. With our flexible system, you stay in control while we handle the rest.

Loved by Children

At the heart of our service is one simple truth: children must love what they eat. Our chefs design menus that are both healthy and appealing, balancing nutrition with taste and presentation. We regularly introduce new recipes, colors, and textures to keep meals exciting, while ensuring familiar favorites are always on the menu. From mild curries to pasta bakes, we make sure there’s something every child will look forward to.

We understand that children can be selective eaters, so we go the extra mile to make our dishes inviting and fun. Meals are portioned and presented in ways that encourage independent eating and exploration of new flavors. Over time, nurseries notice a positive shift in eating habits as children become more open to trying new foods. That’s the Care Catering difference — healthy meals that are genuinely enjoyed, not just tolerated.
