In Sharavogue we provide home cooked meals for all children in the créche and Montessori Total Care Programmes, Junior School and afterschool. Our menus (below) are fully coded listing all allergens.

We ensure that all diets are catered for and are particularly mindful of children with severe allergies. Therefore, we maintain a nut free environment. Procedures are in place to communicate any allergies or food intolerances to staff in each room so that relevant options can be considered by our catering department.

We have three full time chefs employed who prepare all our meals in house. Fresh produce is delivered to Sharavogue daily and no artificial ingredients or additives are used during cooking. Fresh fruit is served daily for morning and afternoon snacks. 

At Sharavogue we know how important nutritious food is for our children’s growth and development. Our meals provide them with the fuel they need for the day in order to learn, run and play. Our chefs base each meal on the basic food pyramid to ensure each child obtains a balanced diet and promotes a more adventurous attitude towards food.

Sharavogue Dining room

From the Senior Montessori group onwards, children’s main meals are served in the dining room.

We support healthy eating and implement the Smart Start Healthy Ireland programme for children. The aim of this is to support children’s development of lifelong healthy eating patterns, skills, behaviours, and attitudes.
