Cucina Bambini Launch their Autumn Raised in Bristol Menu!

At Raised in Bristol, we believe that good nutrition is a cornerstone of early childhood development. This autumn, we're excited to introduce a fresh, seasonal menu to our nurseries crafted by Bristol-based early years kitchen Cucina Bambini, designed to delight and nourish our little learners.

As part of our curriculum Raised In places a strong emphasis on healthy eating, using mealtimes to instil a love for nutritious food and an understanding of the importance of a healthy diet.

Cucina Bambini’s new autumn menu for our Bristol nurseries is a celebration of the season’s best ingredients, with comforting dishes that keep little tummies happy and full. From warm, cosy pies that bring a touch of home to nursery mealtimes, to their tasty pea and mint risotto – perfect for chilly days. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared to cater to the needs and tastes of our children, including those with dietary restrictions or allergies. 

Cucina Bambini is a local family business from the Bianchis Group that run some of the best Italian restaurants in Bristol!

But while we love introducing new flavours, we know how important it is to keep the classics that our children look forward to each week. That's why Friday favourites remain a staple on our menu. The famous and much-loved Bianchis pizza continues to be a hit, along with homemade fish fingers and chips – a comforting end to the week that’s sure to bring a smile to every face.

Our commitment to nutrition goes beyond just serving great food. At Raised In, our Bristol nurseries see mealtimes as an opportunity to educate and inspire. Children are encouraged to explore new tastes and cultures, understand the benefits of eating fresh, seasonal produce, and develop positive food habits that will last a lifetime. Raised In’s local food partner, Cucina Bambini, headed up by Chef Ben Harvey from the Bianchis Group, takes pride in creating a diverse menu that not only satisfies but also sparks curiosity and joy around food.

Cucina Bambini takes pride in helping the children to open up their taste buds to new flavours. 

As we embrace the cooler months, this new menu is all about providing warmth, comfort, and nourishment through every bite. We’re proud to serve dishes that reflect our dedication to nurturing healthy, happy children at Raised in Bristol Nurseries.
