Choosing nursery food and catering
Should I choose hot, chilled or frozen nursery meals?
Choose around your facilities and routine. Hot delivery depends on a reliable serving-time handover. Chilled and frozen meals need suitable storage, reheating capacity and trained staff. Ask for written handling instructions and a backup plan.
What does nursery catering cost?
Quotes depend on portions, daily numbers, dietary requirements, route and the meals included. Compare the full daily cost and minimum order. Published starting prices are examples, not personalised quotes.
What does the hygiene information mean?
FHRS uses scores from 0 to 5 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland’s FHIS uses statuses such as Pass. Records relate to named premises, not an entire brand, food quality or nutritional suitability. An unmatched record is not evidence of a poor rating.
How are suppliers ordered?
Default ordering uses approved customer reviews with a starting weight equivalent to ten ratings at 3.5. Those starting values are never displayed as real reviews. Equal scores sort alphabetically. Official hygiene scores do not change customer stars. The optional FHRS sort compares only matched numeric records and clearly identifies that restricted view.
Are suppliers recommended or EYFS approved?
No. Inclusion is for comparison, not endorsement or official approval. Review the actual menu against the guidance for your nation and your children’s needs. Ask for supporting evidence for supplier claims.
How can missing or outdated details be corrected?
Claim your listing to submit service updates for moderation, or contact Open a Nursery UK. Official hygiene fields and research evidence are administrator-controlled. Send the official record and kitchen address for a hygiene correction.
