We collaborate with top nutritionists globally and follow the best international guidelines and recommendations.

FOOD ALLERGIES

Traces of nuts can be extremely dangerous for children with allergies. Therefore, The Ivy is a ‘NUT-FREE zone.’ If your child has other food allergies, please inform us so we can make the necessary accommodations. We strive to ensure your child feels comfortable and receives the foods that are best for them.
