Cooking activities



At Meadgate Nursery we have been able to introduce the children to a range of fruit and vegetables and cooking activities this term. We have produced our own fruit and vegetable garden where the children have seen the produce grow from a seed to the food on their plates.
As part of involving parents in their children’s learning we invited parents to come in and cook with their child. The first part of the session involved parents listening to a talk by an experienced practitioner about the importance of healthy eating and portion control. Parents were also given ideas of low cost healthy meals that they could provide and were also given a chance to ask any questions. The second part of the session involved parents and their children making iced biscuits and a special food mat which the children could take home and use. Many parents attended and commented on how they particularly found the session useful and allowed them to spend time with their child.
