Schools and nurseries need to follow the same guidelines as restaurants when it comes to food standards.

Understandably parents want their children to have healthy meals that are prepared in the cleanest and safest of environments.

Watford Observer:

Here we round up the food hygiene ratings for schools and nurseries in and around Watford for the months of February and March.

Five is top of the scale, meaning the food hygiene is very good, while zero is the worst rating and means urgent improvement is necessary.
