All our meals at our Widnes Day Nursery are freshly preapred on site to ensure that your child eats healthy, nutritious meals while they are in our care.
The survey by Action on Sugar revealed that one quarter of children’s juices could contain a minimum of six teaspoons of sugar per 200ml serving.
Fruit juices defined as 100 per cent pure fruit juice made from fresh fruit, whole fruit or the flesh of a fruit are not permitted to contain added sugars, preservatives, flavourings, sweeteners and colourings.
Whilst smoothies are recognised as containing crushed and pureed fruit, any smoothies labelled as ‘fruit juice’ are not permitted to contain any other ingredients.
Juice drinks are any drinks that contain 1 to 99 per cent juice, such as nectars, still flavoured waters, iced teas and sports drinks.
Action on Sugar’s campaign director, Katharine Jenner said: “Our advice is to eat the fruit, don’t drink the juice. Juice should be an occasional treat, not an ‘everyday’ drink. These processed drinks are laden with sugar and calories and do not have the nutritional benefits of fresh fruit and vegetables.”
If your child has any special dietary requirements, please contact our Widnes Day Nursery.
