Apetito supplies frozen nursery meals developed by an in-house team of dietitians and food scientists, delivered weekly in temperature-controlled vehicles to settings across the UK. Their dedicated Free From range eliminates all fourteen declarable allergens, and an online portal lets nursery managers plan menus, check allergens, and place orders with full nutritional transparency.
Apetito is one of the UK's largest specialist meal providers, with over fifty years of experience feeding people in care homes, hospitals, schools, and nurseries. Their nursery division delivers individually portioned frozen meals that settings store and regenerate as needed, removing the requirement for on-site chefs while maintaining consistent nutrition standards.
Menus are crafted by in-house dietitians, registered nutritionists, and food scientists who ensure every dish meets the nutritional benchmarks required for early years settings. The company references EYFS guidelines in its nursery service and provides a Free From range certified free of all fourteen declarable allergens, giving nurseries confidence when catering for children with complex dietary needs.
Delivery runs weekly via Apetito's own refrigerated fleet at no additional charge, reaching virtually anywhere in the UK. Nurseries order through an online portal that displays full ingredient lists, allergen flags, and nutritional breakdowns for every meal, making compliance documentation straightforward.
Apetito holds an FSA hygiene rating of five at its distribution hub and is listed on the daynurseries.co.uk supplier directory. The company's scale and national reach make it a practical option for nursery groups seeking a single supplier across multiple sites.
