Food and Nutrition

In our experience nurturing a child’s development begins with a strong focus on their physical wellbeing, and at the heart of this for us is a commitment to healthy eating.

Supporting Growing Bodies and Minds

Inspiring Your Child’s Appreciation of Food

Children learn more about food when they are involved in the growth and preparation of ingredients. Your child will have hands-on involvement in seasonal planting, caring for and harvesting plants used as ingredients in our daily menus.

Delicious and Healthy Seasonal Menus

Your child’s delicious and healthy meals are prepared by qualified and experienced Chefs, who can cater meals to individual dietary requirements. Our kitchens are well resourced to ensure daily meals are delivered using nutritious, fresh ingredients with a focus on both quality and taste.

Learning the Importance of Meal Times

Mealtimes are fundamental to the development of your child’s social and life skills. Children are encouraged to engage in conversation with their peers and use ‘real’ crockery and cutlery, as part of their growth and learning.
