We always use the best quality ingredients, cooking delicious, nutritious, and balanced meals.

We feel it is very important for children to know where their food comes from, and what an opportunity for the children to learn that process from seed to plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our chef designs the menus, including dishes from around the world, being mindful of the children\u2019s 5 a day portions of fruit and vegetables, as well as providing plant-based dishes. Everything we provide encourages children to try new flavours, enjoy food and stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are able to cater for individual dietary requirements such as allergies.

are very lucky to have \u00bd ache of garden space here at Running Rabbits. The garden is split into various sections, allowing different age groups to play separately, or to play together, learning from each other. Bespoke features such as the construction area, mud kitchen, climbing frames, allotment and seated decking area all provide endless opportunities for play and learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All our children will access the garden and fresh air at least twice a day and we embrace the benefits of outdoor learning and play. In addition, we have our own allotment area that we are developing, with the aim of growing our own vegetables that will be used by the chef in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-f09c2bee alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-53ec283e\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-garden-area-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-garden-area-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-garden-area-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-garden-area-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-garden-area.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-7f2a16f1\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"http:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-outdoor-play-area-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-outdoor-play-area-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-outdoor-play-area-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-outdoor-play-area-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/runningrabbitsdaynursery.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/our-outdoor-play-area.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ffffff-background-color has-background\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">Our Purpose Built Baby Garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are proud to open our brand new, purpose built Baby Garden at Running Rabbits Day Nursery!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our new Baby Garden is naturally shaded by our beautiful trees and the grass has been hand selected to ensure the softest finish.<br>The new baby garden is gated for added protection.

These moments naturally support the development of rich vocabulary, curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a moment that feels both special and authentic to our setting.

You will be introduced to the staff and spend some time in your child\u2019s room. This gives both yourself and your child the opportunity to get to know the staff and environment a little better. There will also be some paperwork and forms for you to complete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 hours (usually between 10am-1pm) where we encourage you to leave your child with us. It is very important for both yourself and your child to be able to experience that \u201cdropping off\u201d scenario.
