Food and Nutrition
At Little Sunflowers Day Nursery in Great Barr, food and nutrition play an important role in everyday nursery life. Nutritious, balanced meals help children grow, concentrate and enjoy their day — which is why we take such care with what we serve.
All meals are freshly prepared on site, included in our nursery fees, and designed to support healthy habits from the very earliest years.
Creative Play
Painting, clay work and storytelling help children express themselves and explore new ideas.
Outdoor Time
Fresh air, outdoor play and nature exploration help children build confidence and physical skills.
Brain Boost
Puzzles, matching games and early STEM play build problem-solving skills and confident “I did it!” moments.

Freshly Cooked Meals, Prepared On Site
All meals at Little Sunflowers are cooked fresh each day in our nursery kitchen by a professional chef. Our menus are created with guidance from a nutritionist and carefully planned to provide children with the energy and nutrients they need throughout the day.
Meals include a balance of:
protein
carbohydrates
healthy fats
vitamins and minerals
For families looking for a nursery where meals are cooked on site and included, Little Sunflowers offers reassurance and simplicity.
Healthy, Enjoyable Mealtimes
We believe mealtimes should be positive, relaxed and social. Children are encouraged to enjoy food together, explore new tastes at their own pace and develop healthy eating habits in a supportive environment.
Where appropriate, children are encouraged to:
try new foods without pressure
develop independence through self-serving
enjoy calm, shared mealtimes with their peers
These everyday moments support confidence, communication and positive relationships with food.
