Zebedees Meals

Eating a healthy and balanced diet is important for everyone, but for children this is particularly important for growth and development. At Kamelia Kids, we recognise that a nutritious and balanced diet sets the foundations for lifelong food preferences—making it vital that children eat well during this period.

We have engaged with the services of Zebedees to provide hot lunches and cold afternoon teas for the nursery children. Zebedees promotes the importance of fresh and locally sourced produce from Sussex and Kent.

Hot lunches, afternoon tea and purees, for our smaller babies, are included within our fee structure. For those families accessing Funded Entitlement Only sessions, hot lunches  and afternoon teas can be purchased at an additional cost or a healthy packed lunch can be brought in for their child.

Nut and Sesame Free Nursery

Due to the severity and risk of nut allergies at Kamelia Kids we are a Nut and Sesame Free Setting.

Please ensure that you do not bring in food for your child that contains nuts and sesame. This includes Nutella/Hazelnut spread, peanut butter/nut butters, and products that “may contain traces of nuts or sesame”.

Please also be mindful of avoiding the use of any product that you use on your child’s hair and skin that may contain nuts. Common examples are Arachis Oil (Peanut oil), Almond oil and Macadamia nut oil.  More information can be found in this fact sheet.
