The quality of the food

people&baby daycare centres pay particular attention to food. Whether delivered or prepared in-house, our meals are based on balanced menus made up of fresh produce.

Sustainable products, including organic products

As a pioneer in sustainable food, people&baby guarantees a minimum of 3 organic ingredients per day per child in its daycare centers, divided between fruit, vegetables, starchy foods, eggs, dairy products and biscuits.

Every day, children eat :

• some meats mainly from France cooked at low temperatures, a slow cooking technique that preserves nutrients.
• MSC-certified sustainable fishing and quality boneless fish,
• labelled products: Label Rouge white ham, AOC Cantal, IGP tomme, PDO Saint Nectaire, etc.

Dishes are prepared with raw, fresh, seasonal produce, without any products from the food industry, including sauces, soups and pastries. They are guaranteed free from palm oil, GMOs and additives, and their salt and fat content is controlled.

Some people&baby daycare centres are equipped with a kitchen. The food is delivered in raw form, then prepared by a cook. In the rest of the network, meals are delivered cold and reheated on site. In both cases, the controls are extremely rigorous, in particular to guarantee the cold chain and compliance with hygiene standards.

Healthy menus

Our catering service providers are selected on the basis of rigorous specifications that comply with the recommendations of the GEMRCN (Groupement d'Etude des Marchés en Restauration Collective et de Nutrition) in terms of the nutritional quality of meals.

All the menus offered in our daycare centres are created by dieticians, guaranteeing children a varied and balanced diet.

Sorting and packaging: a responsible commitment

We also chose our main service supplier for its commitment to eco-responsibility: concerned about its environmental impact, our supplier sorts all its waste in an ecological approach (cardboard, paper, crates, organic waste...).

Meals are mostly delivered in stainless steel rather than plastic trays, which are safe for children's health. Fruits and cheeses are presented in environmentally-friendly Kraft paper packaging.

Taste awareness

In our daycare centres, every meal is an enjoyable moment and an opportunity to learn about taste. Taste is one of the first senses to develop in children; it is an integral part of their development. Themed menus, discovery activities and seasonal events are frequently offered.

Every year, Taste Week is an opportunity to organise festive culinary workshops with parents. Finally, we also introduce toddlers to a number of products that are a little forgotten today: fennel, celery, redcurrants, parsnips, Jerusalem artichokes, rhubarb, dill, mint, etc.
