Why choose Zebedees?
Because we love what we do and your child’s nutrition matters to us. Which is why we make sure we deliver exceptional food, all the time. That means delicious, healthy meals made of high quality, fresh ingredients.
It also means:
A preference for British ingredients and local suppliers.
Options to suit dietary requirements, intolerances and allergies which – crucially – resemble the mainstream option wherever possible, so no child ever feels ‘different’ or left out.
Menus put together by a qualified nutritionist, which rotate every three weeks and are all available to see online.
Reliable, trackable deliveries – we know where all our vans are all the time, so we can give you live updates.
Friendly, helpful, DBS-checked drivers.
And that’s really it, in a nutshell.
We want children at nursery to be able to learn, grow and play, powered by the right food. Because with their tummies full of the right nutrients, they can achieve great things – and we’re here to help them do just that.
Try Our Food
How it started
Two professional chefs (Philip Oates and Steve Parsons) saw first-hand the problems local nursery schools were having with the provision of fresh, healthy food using limited resources and kitchen facilities.
So, over 25 years ago, they put their heads, know-how and spatulas together and came up with Zebedees.
How it’s going
Our 90-strong team supplies more than 10,000 hot nursery meals and 3,500 afternoon teas every day to over 300 settings across London, Brighton, East and West Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Essex.
And those numbers are growing all the time, which we’re delighted about. After all, children can get up to 90% of their daily food intake from nursery food – which is why it’s so important that parents know they’re being given healthy, balanced meals.
We may have grown, but our values remain exactly the same.
