A Parent Taster is a wonderful opportunity for families to see, smell and, most importantly, taste the delicious, nutritious dishes children enjoy every day.
We love seeing our nursery partners invite parents through their doors to experience Nursery Kitchen food for themselves. But these events are about so much more than food on a plate.
A chance to experience the menu
From colourful curries and comforting classics to vibrant sides and fresh flavours, our menus are designed to bring variety, goodness and plenty of enjoyment to the table.
A Parent Taster gives parents the chance to experience this variety first-hand – discovering the care that goes into each menu and seeing just how exciting nursery mealtimes can be.
Starting positive food conversations
Parent Tasters also create a lovely opportunity for nursery teams and families to come together and chat about food.
Parents can ask questions about the menu, ingredients, portion sizes or how children are encouraged to explore new foods. It’s a chance to share ideas and reassure families that every child develops their relationship with food at their own pace.
We provide our nursery partners with everything they need to run a successful parent taster, along with take-home resources for families to help keep the experience going beyond the nursery. These include recipes for some of their favourite Nursery Kitchen dishes, making it easy for families to recreate them at home. It’s a simple way to continue the conversation, inspire new flavours and bring fresh ideas to family mealtimes.
Helping create healthy tastes for life
At Nursery Kitchen, we believe early food experiences can help shape a child’s relationship with food for years to come.
That’s why our dishes are created to nourish growing bodies while introducing children to a wonderful variety of flavours, colours and textures.
Parent Tasters help families see this approach in action, from a colourful vegetable-packed dish to a new flavour a child might be discovering for the very first time.
Because encouraging children to explore different foods, enjoy mealtimes and develop curious little taste buds is all part of helping to create healthy tastes for life.
Celebrating our nursery partners
We love seeing our nursery partners proudly showcase their Nursery Kitchen menus and create welcoming experiences for their families.
There’s something special about seeing a table filled with inviting dishes, parents chatting with the nursery team and families discovering the food their little ones enjoy every day.
Because when food looks good, tastes good and is made with care, wonderful things can happen around the table.
