I wish I lived closer to this nursery and had the opportunity to have my child attend, bringing my child up on a vegetarian diet I have been let down many times by her current nursery. It is refreshing knowing they have a plant based menu which is healthy and balanced.

So great to hear you are making all your menus vegan, such an admirable decision! I wish more nurseries would have the courage and sense to do the same. Keep up the good work!

I won't be sending my children somewhere that refuses to give them a healthy balanced diet. My child has medically necessary diet restrictions and I can't believe this place would change their menu so drastically without parental concent. Offering multiple diet options is understandable, abstaining from healthy diet... is not.
