At Cute kids we believe that what children eat today will have a striking impact on their health throughout adolescence and adulthood. Consuming nutritious foods helps children grow, develop, do well academically and feel good about themselves. Good nutrition also helps prevent child and teen issues such as eating disorders, obesity, dental cavities and iron-deficiency anaemia.

According to the Department of Health about 20 – 25 percent of all children aged 2 to 18 years now meet the criteria for being overweight. Overweight and obese children are at greater risk for major health issues such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease. Giving and exposing children to healthy good nutritional habits from a young age can decrease the likelihood of becoming overweight in later years. Choosing nutrient-dense foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables over empty-calorie foods such as cookies and fizzy drinks can help prevent childhood obesity and provide our child a much higher quality of life.

Children require a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, meat, fish and adequate calories in order to grow and develop properly. It’s crucial for us to ensure that your child consumes the essential nutrients she needs to grow. Calcium is of particular importance for children. An adequate calcium intake promotes optimal bone density which will assist the growing child in their teens to reduce the risk of bone loss in later life. The nutrients we give to children at Cute Kids influences their growth and health during this childhood development into adolescence and for the rest of their lives.

We provide to all under 5s attending Cutes Kid Montessori Nursery School, 189 ml (1/3 pint) of milk for each day they attend for 2 hours or more free of charge.

We offer fresh drinking water at regular intervals to all children attending Cute Kids.

We celebrate birthdays and other special occasions in our nursery for boosting self worth, self confidence, good self esteem and social interaction. We encourage healthy eating food or treats that promotes children’ well being and wellness.

Parents are asked to consider bringing birthday cakes or other treats WITH NO TRACES OF NUTS, SESEME SEEDS and other allergic products. Children with egg allergy will not be given cakes made with eggs.

If the cakes or other treats may contain traces of nuts or others, we’ll do ‘’a take home birthday cake or treats’’ after celebrating with the child and cutting the cake.
