Nursery Kitchen is a specialist nursery catering company based in Basildon, Essex, delivering chilled meals twice weekly to nursery schools across England and into Wales. All food is prepared in SALSA-accredited kitchens by professional chefs working alongside early years nutritionists, then delivered in temperature-controlled refrigerated vans by drivers who restock nursery fridges directly.
Nursery Kitchen operates from its headquarters at Burnt Mills Industrial Estate in Basildon, Essex, with a mission to make nursery mealtimes simple, nutritious, and stress-free. The company employs professional chefs and specialist early years nutritionists who collaborate to create age-appropriate menus designed to build healthy eating habits from the earliest years.
All meals are prepared in SALSA-accredited kitchens — the Safe and Local Supplier Approval standard that certifies food safety, traceability, and quality management. Menus accommodate the full range of dietary and allergy requirements including vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free options, with the team working directly with individual nurseries to manage complex needs.
Delivery runs twice weekly across a broad area of England and Wales, with dedicated drivers in temperature-controlled refrigerated vans. Uniquely, the drivers unpack and restock the nursery's fridge and cupboards on arrival, meaning nursery staff can stay focused on the children. Meals arrive chilled rather than frozen, and nursery teams simply add the final touches before serving.
Nursery Kitchen also provides staff training, nutrition guidance webinars, and parent resources, positioning itself as a full nursery food partner rather than simply a meal delivery service.
