NATIONAL FOOD AWARD
Little Explorers has achieved a prestigious national award in acknowledgement of our commitment to providing outstanding food and food education for children in our care.
By achieving a Soil Association Food for Life Early Years award we have demonstrated we are providing tasty, nutritious meals and an environment that encourages good social skills and healthy choices. We are also supporting the development of good food habits for life through practical cooking and growing activities and food-based learning.
FOOD HYGIENE RATING
This scheme is run by local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in partnership with the Food Standards Agency.
Each business is given a ‘hygiene rating’ when it is inspected by a food safety officer from the business’s local authority. The hygiene rating shows how closely the business is meeting the requirements of food hygiene law. We are proud to have been consistently awarded a 5 out of 5 rating since we started operating.
