Hopscotch offers all children a healthy breakfast of cereal and organic milk each morning, and a selection of organic fruit, savoury snacks and organic milk during the day. Parents supply their own made-up formula milk for babies.
Parents can provide their own packed lunch so they can choose what their child eats each day catering for their individual and dietary needs. A typical nutritious lunch could be a sandwich, fruit, yoghurt and cereal bar, or we will warm your own home-cooked meals, soup or a tin/pre-prepared meal. All perishable food is stored in a refrigerator.
All Hopscotch Nurseries provide the option of a Zebedee's hot lunch at an extra cost of £2.00 per meal. Dietary options are available.
Nappy Changing
Hopscotch provides Bambo Nature nappies for children whilst they are at nursery. We also provide creams and wipes.
Across our nurseries we use around 1800 nappies a week. At Hopscotch we believe is it very important to be socially responsible and endeavour to put this into practice whenever possible. The impact of this high number of nappies on our environment is not acceptable and therefore the brand we use are one of the highest quality, eco-friendly disposables available on the market today and are kind to babies’ skin. They are super-absorbent with all of the features of a premium disposable nappy but with an environmentally friendly manufacturing process. The allergy tested raw material used in the manufacture of Bambo Nature contains no PVC, perfumes, lotions or optical whiteners, reducing the likelihood of your baby having an allergic reaction or rashes.
In many cases the greatest impact on the environment occurs during manufacturing and it is the raw materials used and the process followed by the Danish manufacturer, that have led to Bambo Nature being the only nappy to receive the prestigious Nordic Swan Eco label. Chemicals classified as harmful, irritant, allergenic, sensitizanic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, or environmentally harmful are not used in the raw materials in the end production of the nappies; and all raw materials are FDA approved. Bambo Nature have a high percentage of wheat starch in the absorbent core. Wheat starch is a 100 % biodegradable natural absorbent.
If you do not wish your child to use our products but prefer to bring your own, then please let your nursery manager know.
