The Professional Nursery Kitchen is proud to honour the best nursery chefs at the upcoming National NMT Nursery Awards, through sponsorship of the prestigious Nursery Chef Award category.

This award recognises chefs with exceptional early years cooking talent, which plays a crucial role in enriching the lives of young children.

Good nutrition is vital in early childhood. Not only does it help the brain and body to develop, but it also provides fuel for learning and supports happy, healthy living. The best nursery chefs ensure that children receive consistently nutritious food, that tastes great and meets a wide range of health, lifestyle, and safety requirements.

Delivering such high standards of food together with meeting the numerous prerequisites for young children is no mean feat. In addition to this, the ongoing difficulties experienced in the food industry over the past two years, have made nursery food production that bit more challenging. Thus, the Nursery Chef Award has never been so significant.

At the Professional Nursery Kitchen, we place children and nutrition at the heart of everything we do. So, we’re thrilled to be able to help the industry recognise and celebrate nursery chefs who provide young children with the nutritious meals that they need and deserve. Good luck to all the nominees!

The Professional Nursery Kitchen delivers freshly prepared, nutritious food to nurseries that both children and parents love. With menus designed by expert nutritionists, chefs and dieticians, we ensure that each one of our meals is tasty and enjoyable while meeting the nutritional and dietary needs of young children.
