Nutrition

Mealtimes are an important part of the day at Hemsley House. The report highlights that children “sit together at lunchtime, sharing food they have helped to prepare, taking turns to use tongs to share out the lunches. They chatter and laugh together clearly enjoying each other's company and that of the staff.”
