The group, which operates 16 settings throughout Hertfordshire, Surrey, London, Bedfordshire and Berkshire, has received the seal of approval in recognition of its summer menu meeting the Children’s Food Trust’s nutritional guidelines.
Nutritionists from the charity checked Toad Hall’s menu against national best practice guidelines for healthy food for toddlers and pre-school children. They also looked at the variety and nutrition of meals and snacks, portion sizes and the levels of salt and sugar in the food served to children.
They found the menu contained the right mix of energy and nutrients children need, as well as providing a good balance of different foods, plenty of fruit and vegetables and healthy snacks.
