Meals in daycare: the best for your children

A central moment of pleasure in children's day, meals at daycare play an essential role in their well-being and development. At Kidscare, we go the extra mile to offer healthy, natural, and balanced food every day. A plate just like at home, which showcases products frais and local! Here, taste buds are awakened from a very young age.

A plate for every age

In our after school clubs, menus are developed by our dietitian, in collaboration with a pediatric nurse. The goal: to offer meals that are both healthy and delicious, perfectly adapted to your child's age and pace. Textures and quantities are carefully controlled to support each stage of taste development and ensure safe enjoyment!

These menus include fiber, lipids and proteins in the right proportions, as well as a generous portion of vegetables to add color to the plates and delight the taste buds of both young and old. 

For babies, dietary diversification plays a central role: we respect the rhythm established at home, gradually introducing new flavors. Fresh and organic vegetable purées, smooth and melting textures, color and sweetness are in the spotlight to encourage this transitional stage, so important in the lives of toddlers. As they grow, the plate becomes richer: in terms of quantity, but also in variety and textures offered (mixed, chopped, solid or melting pieces).

Our special seasonal menus for young children

We take care to use carefully selected ingredients to provide children with healthy and tasty meals every day. 

More respectful of health and the environment, organic farming is in the spotlight in our establishments. Our guarantee: 

• 100% organic vegetables for babies

• 100% organic soups for babies and children

Fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, and fish come from local sources, respecting seasonal products, or from producers and breeders labeled AB, Eurofeuille, Fairtrade, sustainable fishing, or even Marque Nationale. Hygiene and product traceability are essential: we don't compromise. These foods are cooked without additives or added sugars, to bring out their natural aroma. Gentle cooking is preferred to preserve all the benefits, vitamins, and nutrients of each ingredient. Ideal for developing good eating habits from a young age!

During meal times in the nursery, the provision of outside food is only accepted in the case of a specific medical diet (food intolerances, allergies, chronic illness or disability).

When food rhymes with socialization

Mealtime is a time for sharing, joy and conviviality! 

In our after school clubs, children are taken in small groups: calm is essential to be able to relax, discuss the flavors on offer and enjoy the attentive support provided by the supervisory staff. Childcare assistants, educators and service staff take care of the children during these key moments of their day. For these professionals trained according to the approach Montessori, respecting the child's nutritional and emotional needs is a top priority. There's no rush; everyone takes all the time they need to awaken their taste buds, explore the contents of their plate, nibble, or even devour...

Under the watchful eye of our teams, children can eat alone as soon as they feel ready, always respecting their abilities and using appropriate cutlery and tableware. This is an essential step in building confidence, developing motor skills, and gradually strengthening their independence. 

Food is also an excellent pretext for raising awareness among children about the issues of healthy eating and environmental protection.

Throughout the year, children participate in: 

• workshops and activities around cooking, in the company of their educators and the mascot Pooky;

• excursions to discover the organic farms where the fresh vegetables consumed at the nursery are produced; 

• gardening sessions in the green spaces of their nursery to cultivate and watch the plants they have planted grow; 

• different activities around seasonal products. 

These activities are all opportunities to have fun, actively explore, and learn more about the world around them. Perfect for adopting good habits, both in terms of nutrition and ecology, for a healthier and more environmentally friendly daily life. 

They fit into the wide range ofactivities offered to young children, all designed to promote awareness, well-being and stimulate curiosity, creativity and imagination.
