Sensory Challenge at Lathom School!
Today was all about exploring the senses and making food fun!
Our team at Lathom ran an exciting Sensory Challenge, where students had the chance to:
- Test their taste buds with our bold chilli jelly
- Put their noses to the test with the smell jar challenge
- Discover hidden surprises in our texture pots and mystery parcels
It was brilliant to see the students getting stuck in - full of curiosity, laughter, and a few brave faces after the chilli!
At Juniper, we love bringing interactive food experiences into schools. It's about more than just meals, it’s about engaging young minds, encouraging new tastes, and making food a multisensory adventure.
Big thanks to the team for delivering such a creative and inclusive session!

From preparing colourful lunches to talking about balanced choices, children and their parents celebrated the power of togetherness and wellbeing.
We're proud to fuel not just appetites, but also connections between home and school, helping children thrive with every bite.

Nourishing Bodies, Honouring Heritage.
On Windrush Day, children at Sandringham Primary School celebrated more than history - they explored the vibrant cultural roots of Caribbean cuisine and the importance of healthy living.
Through food-tasting, storytelling, and themed school lunches, pupils learned how the Windrush generation brought not only strength and resilience but also flavours and traditions that continue to shape our plates and our communities today.
At Juniper Ventures, we're proud to serve nutritious meals that reflect culture, diversity, and well-being - putting children first, every day.

Whether it’s using eco-friendly cleaning products, reducing vehicle emissions in our operations, or helping schools cut kitchen waste. It’s all part of our commitment to healthier environments, indoors and out.
Clean air supports learning, wellbeing, and community health. On and every day, we’re proud to do our part.
Let’s breathe better together.

It’s the Little Things That Matter
Clean toilets might seem like a small detail, but in schools and public buildings, they make a big difference.
At Juniper Ventures, we believe cleanliness sets the tone for care, respect, and wellbeing. When toilets are hygienic, well-stocked, and consistently maintained, it creates a ripple effect:
✅ Students feel safer and more comfortable
✅ Staff and visitors experience a sense of pride and professionalism
✅ Facilities stay in better condition, longer
This is The Juniper Way, doing the small things well, with attention, consistency, and care. From classrooms to cubicles, we know that every corner counts when it comes to creating a clean, welcoming environment for all.
Because when we care about the details, we show that people matter.

Pasta Workshop at Manor Primary!
Last week, the team at Manor Primary School rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on Pasta Workshop and it was a huge success!
With support from Juniper Ventures, pupils had the opportunity to learn about the ingredients, techniques, and traditions behind fresh pasta making. It wasn’t just about food, it was about fun, learning, and connection.
At Juniper, we’re proud to support school caterers, students, and parents in putting on creative theme days like this. These experiences help children better understand what goes into the food they eat and inspire a lifelong interest in healthy cooking.
👏 A big thank you to the catering team, school staff, and everyone who made the day so memorable.
