Every child at Charley’s Angels enjoys a well balanced healthy diet in order to build a strong body and mind. We have a dedicated Nursery Chef who prepares meals on site for the children in our kirklees council food hygiene rated kitchen.
We follow soil association food for life guidelines where possible and hope to apply for a food for life award very soon.
