New chef starts!

This week we are welcoming Jackie Gough to the Peter Pan Nursery Team!

Jackie is our new Chef bringing with her lots of experience (she previously was at the Nuffield Hospital for six years) and fresh ideas for our menus.

G'day! - all about the land of Oz

Last week the classroom children spent the week learning about Australia.

 

They designed their own boomerangs, had Australian flag paint-on tattoos, listened to a didgeridoo but the highlight must have been the BBQ and bushtucker trial food!

 

 

Mealworm smoothie, Bug surprise, fish eyes and Witchetty grubs were all on the menu for the children to brave....

 

and here are the Queen and King of the Bushtucker trial!

 

This week they are learning all about China!

 

Farewell to Liz / ideas for new menu

This week we said a big thank you and farewell to Liz, our chef at the nursery, after 12 years!

Liz has semi-retired and is moving on to work part-time at The Marches School in Oswestry.

We have recruited a new chef who will be starting in a few weeks but in the meantime, it will be chef's Lynn and Sue in the kitchen preparing morning break and tea time meals! 

Therefore we are reviewing our menu and we are looking for suggestions on what we can offer at break and tea time (4pm) so please pass on any ideas to the Nursery Office for consideration.

Country of the week is India!

This week the country that the classroom children have been learning about is India!

They have been trying out dancing .....

 

and curry, poppadums and naan bread!

Ciao from the classroom children!

Over the summer the classroom children are learning about a different country each week.

This week was Italy and they had fun making pizzas....

 

...and fresh lemonade...

....delizioso!!

 

No bake mini egg rocky road - perfect for Easter

If you are looking to do some cooking for your little ones or do something different for Easter why not try this No Bake Mini Egg Rocky Road:

You will need:

Two 173g share packs of Cadbury Mini Eggs
800g milk chocolate
180g mini marshmallows
400g Digestives

Line a baking tin, you may need to use two smaller ones if you don't have a large one as it makes a lot of mixture.

Recipe:

* Firstly, melt the chocolate. This can be done in the microwave or over a pan.

* Put the Digestives into a large bowl and smash them up! Used the end of a rolling pin. You want to keep large pieces for extra crunch so don’t go too mad at this point!.

* Add in the marshmallows and one pack of the Mini Eggs.

* Pour over the melted chocolate and mix well. Push this into your lined baking tin.

* Top with the other pack of Mini Eggs. Leave to set in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Then its time to cut it into squares and enjoy!!!!
