Your child will develop healthy eating habits that will set them up for making smart eating decisions for the rest of their lives.
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
Delicious and Healthy Seasonal Menus
Your child’s delicious and healthy meals are prepared by qualified and experienced Chefs. Our kitchens are well resourced to ensure daily meals are delivered using nutritious locally-sourced ingredients with a focus on both quality and taste.
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.
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.

Catriona Kate Hopkins this is where Hunters going
Our wonderful Chef Brodie at Royal Park Early Learning Centre (SA), plans regular cooking experiences with our children. The children love cooking and taking part in these activities, and they especially love telling the other children that they had made it! This week children helped to make creamy chia seed porridge for morning tea. It was delicious and there wasn’t a drop to spare. Yum!
