Nutrition
The centre promotes balanced healthy diets for all children while they are attending the centre. In conjunction with our in-house cook and health care professionals specialised diets can be planned for those children who have allergies, intolerances or cultural requirements.
The centre has a summer and winter rotating menu program, each series runs for 24 weeks. The menus consist of a balance of Vegetarian, White and Red Meat dishes.

We value your Feedback
We value input from families who may have suggestions regarding the planned menu or have some new recipes for us to try.
Birthdays
Families may bring food to celebrate their child’s birthday, this food must be purchased and not home-made, it also needs to have the ingredient list printed on the packaging and a use by date. Foods containing nuts must not be brought into the centre as we attempt to keep the centre a nut aware environment.
