Healthy, local and ecological food
Healthy and local food in our nurseries
The food in our nurseries for your children's meals is healthy and adapted to the needs of the children.
This food is an integral part of our educational commitments. The high quality of our meals also serves as a support for the development and awareness of the environment among the youngest.
Our commitments regarding the food in our nurseries
Our commitments constitute a 5-point food charter for children and their parents:
- Our childcare facilities are committed to providing the best for your children's health and well-being every day, in particular through healthy eating with fresh, local produce*.
- Food is a fundamental basis for promoting children's discovery and experimentation while meeting their nutritional needs.
- The safety of your children is our priority. This also applies to the food in our crèches. The menus respect special diets and our experts guarantee the traceability of the food.
- Meals are made from fresh, local produce. Fruits and vegetables are seasonal and of high quality.
- The dishes offered in our crèches are an opportunity for discovery and new experiences. We vary the tastes and textures for the culinary awakening of the little ones.
The quality of our meals
Our balanced meals are developed by a dietician, in order to meet the nutritional needs of children according to their age. She also develops menus for special diets.
We use local, fresh and Fairtrade* products.
The fish is mainly labeled MSC or from sustainable fishing. We are committed to having our reception facilities certified by the “Sou Schmaacht Lëtzebuerg” certification from the Chamber of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture. This certification aims to promote local products and regional food by giving them more visibility.
The educational relay
Food in our crèches is an important educational base.
Our early childhood staff organizes this educational relay around 3 axes:
- Taste, by discovering original recipes and organizing cooking workshops.
- Health, by developing the right food reflexes in the little ones.
- The planet, to make children aware of organic and sustainable food.
A Luxembourg mascot, called Pooky, accompanies babies and children in their culinary discoveries and in learning the ecological rules to respect.
Regularly, gastronomic events are organized on site. A fruit or vegetable is thus put in the spotlight. In addition, each year, cooking workshops are organized, as well as excursions related to organic food. Finally, 3 meetings are scheduled to raise awareness among the children welcomed in our structures about environmental protection.
Nurseries and after school clubs KidsCare are committed to providing your children with fresh, healthy and local food every day.
