COMPANIES THAT ALREADY USE US
On a strictly like for like basis i.e. if a nursery was to produce food to the exact
same standard that we do using Care Catering I believe we would actually save the
nursery money. This is because we have enormous purchasing power compared to the
average nursery and so where we do pay staff more and have delivery costs and premises
to rent our raw materials cost us less as we buy in larger quantities.
However I would say that we produce food way above the standard found in virtually
all nurseries and so when committing to using Care Catering many nurseries do find
us a little more expensive than they would have paid for catering on site themselves
as the standard of food would not be on a like for like basis. So the nurseries
that use us receive excellent value for money for the quality of service we provide
but they also demonstrate that quality is an issue that they are willing to pay
for and are putting standards before cost. An excellent tribute to any of our customers.
I once had a meeting with a woman that proudly boasted of her 90pence a day raw
food material costs which is far lower than ours. However looking at her menu she
had ‘pasta with two tomato sauce’ as one of her dishes (maybe Heinz and Cross and
Blackwell I don’t know) no meat or vegetables in it and this was the main lunch.
Also sausages and smash potatoes and beans was another one which would account for
more than a days intake of salt in one meal. When looking at value for money the
quality of the product, not just the price, needs to be taken into consideration
otherwise no one would ever buy a bmw!
Some catering companies do not have a good reputation however we do. All our clients
are happy to provide verbal or written references for us. We would encourage any
concerned parents to come and talk to us to see that we truly are passionate about
what we do and to see our state of the art kitchens. We are totally transparent
in what we do and love when a new customer comes to see us or talk to a concerned
parent about any aspect of our food.

Parents are amazed of how many menus there are and especially
catering the very young babies." Catherine Hawksworth
Loseley Fields Children Cnetre
The children enjoy a varied and nutritional diet. Well planned meals are
prepared off site and delivered each day. Children's individual dietary
requirements are met, the staff and catering company liaise to ensure that meals
are suitable and alternatives are provided as necessary. Each child is offered
cheese after their meals to neutralise the acid in their mouth, and this is
beneficial to their dental care. Summerfield House Day Nursery
Children's dietary needs are met extremely well. Staff maintain
comprehensive
records on children's dietary. Christopher Robin Day Nursery Cranleigh
Children benefit from a healthy menu. They enjoy nutritiously balanced meals
brought in by outside caterers. Christopher Robin Day Nursery Burpham
What others say
I have been a big fan of the food that Care Catering have offered to
my nursery over the years that they have been catering for us. I, as
a mother and as a nursery manager am obsessed with a healthy, fun
and balanced diet for the children. Our Children's food is always
freshly prepared and of a very high standard. All our children love
the food and quite often are up of seconds!!! The babies are offered
a wonderful menu that caters exactly to their right stage
of development. The new parents that join find this one less stress when
planning on going back to work knowing that there baby is only eating in my
opinion the best food and not only jars that many nurseries offer.
I would definitely recommend Care Catering and i am happy to talk to anyone from
other companies that are wishing to use Care Catering in the future.
