💚 Inspiring our littlest chefs! 👩‍🍳

Meet Ava, daughter of our Assistant Fleet Manager, Oliver, and quite possibly one of our cutest Zebedees supporters!

Since Oliver joined the Zebedees team, Ava has been loving getting involved with her very own Zebedees apron and rolling pin. So far, she's been putting her skills to the test with playdough, with homemade pizzas next on the menu! 🍕👏

Oliver tells us that Ava has become much more interested in getting involved with cooking – something we absolutely love to hear.

Encouraging children to get hands on with food from an early age can be such a lovely way to introduce them to different ingredients, build curiosity and make food fun.

We can't wait to see what Chef Ava creates next! 💚

There's nothing more rewarding than hearing how children are growing in confidence around food.

At Zebedees, our goal has always been about more than simply providing nutritious meals. We're passionate about helping children develop positive relationships with food that will support them throughout their lives.

💬 Here's what the team at Camelot Kids had to say:

"It is so lovely to see our children blossoming with food confidence. They have grown to trust their food and will try new things readily without much coaxing. We are sure that the nutrition packed meals are supporting them in every way possible."

🌟 Thank you to the wonderful team at Camelot Kids for your kind words and for trusting us to be part of your children's early years journey. It's a privilege to support children as they explore new foods, build confidence and develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Every child deserves to feel safe and supported at mealtimes.

For some children, sitting down to eat can feel overwhelming. New foods, busy environments or anxiety around mealtimes can all affect how they experience food.

That's why creating a calm, positive and pressure free environment is so important.

In our latest blog, our Nutrition Consultant, Charlotte Stirling-Reed, shares practical advice on how nurseries can help children build confidence around food, including:

✨ Creating a calm and reassuring mealtime environment
✨ Reducing pressure and celebrating small wins
✨ Supporting sensory needs and individual routines
✨ Working closely with parents to provide consistent support

💛 Building a positive relationship with food doesn't happen overnight, but with patience, understanding and consistency, every child can be supported to thrive.

Supporting our local community and reducing waste 💚

We’re proud to have recently donated a selection of surplus food and spare cooking pots to FareShare Sussex & Surrey in Brighton, helping to ensure that items we no longer need can be put to good use within our local community.

FareShare UK works with charities and community organisations across Sussex and Surrey, redistributing surplus food to help support people and families who need it.

For us, it’s about more than preventing perfectly good food and useful equipment from going to waste. It’s about finding ways to give back to the communities around us and supporting organisations doing incredibly important work. 💚

A huge thank you to the Zebedees team members who helped organise and deliver the donation, and to FareShare for the fantastic work they continue to do across our local communities.

🌱 Nurseries today are under increasing pressure to support children’s wellbeing, development, safeguarding and healthy lifestyles all at once.

🥗 Nutrition plays a major role in that responsibility.

📚 As conversations around EYFS guidance and childhood nutrition continue to grow, nursery catering should never be treated as a simple operational task. It should be viewed as part of a nursery’s wider commitment to child development, parent reassurance and quality standards.

💚 At Zebedees, we believe nutritious meals should support far more than mealtimes. They should help nurseries feel confident they are creating healthier environments for children every single day.

📝 Read our latest blog: Why Nursery Catering Should Be Part of the Learning Experience to discover how mealtimes help children build confidence, independence, communication skills, healthy eating habits and positive relationships with foodwhile also supporting nursery teams and reassuring parents.

The relationship children build with food during their early years can stay with them for life. 🥕🍽️💚

That is why nursery mealtimes matter so much.

Introducing children to a variety of flavours, textures and ingredients from an early age can help shape positive food preferences and eating habits for life.

At Zebedees, we believe nursery catering should support healthier futures whilst helping nurseries create positive food experiences children genuinely enjoy.

Because the standards set during the early years matter long after lunchtime ends.
