Vegetable patch

From Tiny Seeds . . .

At Acorns we know how important it is for children to eat the right foods for growth and development. We also believe that if children eat well in their early years they go on to make healthy choices throughout their lives.  Teaching children about food and nutrition is an important life skill and forms an exciting learning experience for our children.

Each nursery has a vegetable planter where the children sow seeds for peppers, courgettes, beans, potatoes, strawberries and more. The children enjoy learning about the life cycle of plants, from planting seeds to harvesting delicious fruit and vegetables. These are then used in cooking activities in nursery or in the tasty seasonal recipes our cooks create.
