Nutrition
Nutrition is a key part of the Rookies lifestyle and we believe passionately about not only providing our children with fresh nutritionally balanced food, but also in educating them about a balanced diet. Fresh food is also at the heart of our learning processes, with children encouraged to use fresh food such as vegetables in learning opportunities such as art.
All food provided to children at Rookies is fresh and prepared on site by our trained experienced chefs, in our state of the art kitchen.
We cater for children with allergies and work closely in partnership with parents to implement food plans which suit the needs of these individual children.
Please see below a sample menu which has been designed in conjunction with Stevenage FC’s Sports Science and Nutrition Team, in order to provide children with a balanced diet for an active lifestyle. Being active is a fundamental part of being a Rookie and is central to our curriculum with pupils being encouraged to learn through being active. All pupils receive a curriculum which follows the Government’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Guidelines, with added opportunities to be active through our enrichment classes.
