In this video, I’m taking you behind the scenes as I prepare fresh, nutritious meals for the children attending our home-based childcare setting.

Food plays a huge role in children’s development, not just physically, but emotionally and socially too. I believe mealtimes should feel calm, positive, and supportive, especially for young children who may be developing confidence around food, routines, and independence.

All meals are thoughtfully prepared with children’s needs in mind, following appropriate dietary guidance, portion sizes, and food safety standards. I aim to offer balanced meals that support energy, focus, and healthy growth, while also introducing a variety of textures and flavours in a gentle, child-led way.

This video is for parents who want transparency, reassurance, and a real look at how we care for children day to day — not just the play and learning, but the everyday moments that matter just as much.

If you’re considering a home-based childcare setting and want to see how we support children through routine, nourishment, and care, I hope this gives you a helpful insight.
