Nutrition
Our menus are thoughtfully crafted to provide balanced, nutritious meals that support children in their growth and development, in line with Australian dietary guidelines.
We focus on whole foods—fresh fruits, colourful vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats sourced from trusted suppliers dedicated to sustainable practices.
Fresh
Ingredients
By prioritising fresh, high-quality ingredients and minimising processed foods, we ensure every meal supports children’s health and wellbeing.
Our commitment to balanced nutrition aligns with the National Quality Framework, helping children develop lifelong healthy eating habits that nurture their physical growth, cognitive development, and overall vitality in a caring environment.
Locally and
Ethically Sourced
A key part of our approach is using fresh vegetables and herbs grown in our own garden, allowing children to connect with nature as they plant, nurture, and harvest the food they eat.
Our menus celebrate the seasons, featuring locally sourced produce at its peak of freshness and flavour — ensuring every meal is both wholesome and meaningful.
Diverse Dishes
By including traditional dishes from a variety of cultures, we introduce children to new flavours, textures, and food experiences.
This approach not only broadens their palates but also nurtures an appreciation for diversity, helping them develop openness and respect for different cultures through the joy of shared meals.
The Importance of Nutrition in Early Childhood
A child’s brain develops more in the first five years of life than at any other time — and nutrition plays a vital role in shaping that growth. When children receive the right balance of energy, protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients, their brains and bodies are equipped to thrive.
