Our kitchen
Prepared on site, not brought in
All meals are made in the centre’s own kitchen using fresh ingredients. Cooking here means meals are made on the day, and we can adjust them for individual children’s needs.
We plan menus around foods children enjoy, and aim for a good balance of fruit, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein across the week.
Dietary needs
Meals that work for your family
Our community is diverse, and so are our families’ needs. Tell us about your child’s diet when you enrol.
Halal options
Halal meals are available for children who need them. Let us know when you enrol.
Vegetarian options
Vegetarian meals are available every day, planned so children still get a balanced diet.
Allergies and intolerances
We plan meals around each child’s allergies and intolerances, using the information and action plans you give us.
Cultural and family needs
If your family has cultural or religious food requirements, talk to us. We will work with you to meet them.
Healthy eating habits
Mealtimes are learning times too
Sitting down together to eat is a chance to talk, share and practise new skills. Children get to practise using cups and cutlery, and to try foods they might not taste at home.
We encourage children to listen to their own hunger and fullness, and to try new foods at their own pace. Happy, relaxed mealtimes help children build a healthy relationship with food.
For babies, meals follow each child’s stage, whether that is purees, mashed food or finger foods. We will talk with you about how your baby eats at home.
