Here at Forest Rock, we take great pride in our menus and our nursery cook creates home cooked meals for the children each day. We are very proud that we scored top marks (5 stars) in our food hygiene inspection.
Our cook is happy to meet with parents to discuss any dietary requirements. She works closely with our parents to provide a balanced offering.
Cooking fresh food each day enables us to monitor salt and sugar levels. Salt is not added to any of the children’s meals and minimal amounts of sugar are used when baking cakes and biscuits and when making milk pudding such as custard and semolina.
Meals are adapted for our babies and our younger children.
Mealtimes are supervised and the children eat together with the staff in their rooms providing another opportunity for social interaction between children and staff and to encourage children to sample new foods with a variety of tastes and textures and to promote healthy eating.
Our menus operate on a 13 day rotating system. This ensures that your child gets a variety of different meals during their time at Forest Rock.

I am level 3 qualified and working with children is my passion. I love to observe how they grow and become independent. My hobbies are rollerblading and reading. I love going to roller skate disco! I love spending time with my family and friends and feel very lucky to be working with such amazing children.
I am a level 3 qualified practitioner, and I have been working in early years for the last five years. I find working with children a really rewarding job, and I find encouraging and supporting children in their development is such a special ting. I enjoy being outdoors in the fresh air, and spending time with my horse.
Hi, I’m Geara. I am a mother of 5, 2 children and 3 dogs. I’m NNEB qualified and I’ve been working in childcare for 24 years. I’ve worked with children aged 6 weeks to 16 years throughout various settings. I am currently based in the Hedgehogs room where I work Term-time only.
I began coaching Rugby Tots and Junior Rugby as a volunteer when I was 14 and completed a few different coaching qualifications. I particularly enjoyed Rugby Tots and this helped me to decide that I wanted to work in Childcare. I began working at Forest Rock in December 2023 and I am currently doing my Level 3 Apprenticeship. I am based in the Fox Cubs and once I have qualified I am looking forward to continuing to learn and develop.
I am a mother to 5 children. Alongside bringing up my children I have worked in the retail and hospitality industries. I have volunteered between 2014 until 2019 in Childcare settings as well as being on the UMT for Leicester Sea Cadets until 2022. In September of 2018 I wanted to further my education, and I achieved qualifications in different courses, learning skills for working in the Childcare sector. Then in 2022 I came across the opportunity to do a Level 3 Apprenticeship at Forest Rock Day Nursery and qualified in April 2024. I am currently based in the Hoglets/ Hedgehogs Room (Pre-school), where I work Term-Time only.
In 2019 I received my degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. I began working with children in January 2021 as a Therapeutic Care Worker in a Children’s Residential home near to Belvoir Castle. I then needed something closer to home so began working as a 1-1 Teaching Assistant at Thorpe Acre Infant School in Loughborough, where I worked for 15 months. In my roles I dealt with a lot of challenging behaviour and ways to support those children. I started at Forest Rock in July 2022 as an Apprentice Nursery Practitioner and qualified in January 2024. I began my Room Leader position shortly after and now onto my Senior position.
