Managing food allergies is a top priority at Little Wonders Nursery, where every child’s safety and well-being are paramount. We understand that allergies can cause anxiety for parents, so we’ve implemented stringent policies to create a safe and inclusive environment for all.
Our allergy management begins with open communication. During enrolment, parents provide detailed information about their child’s allergies, which we document and share with all staff. Our kitchen team is trained to avoid cross-contamination, using separate utensils and preparation areas for allergy-friendly meals.
Menus at Little Wonders are carefully planned to include allergy-safe alternatives. For example, children with dairy allergies might enjoy oat milk or soy yogurt, while those with gluten sensitivities are served gluten-free pasta or bread. We label all meals clearly and ensure that children are never exposed to foods they cannot eat.
We also use these moments to teach empathy and inclusivity. By celebrating a child’s unique needs and explaining allergies in age-appropriate ways, we help children develop understanding and compassion. At Little Wonders, we create a dining experience where every child feels safe, included, and well-fed.
