Food
Our chef says...
“We believe that food needs to not only taste good but look good as well."
Nutrition
We pride ourselves on delivering a balanced menu across the day, with food presented to the children as if they were eating in a restaurant. We involve the children as much as possible from planting and nurturing to harvesting the produce.
We use the mealtime experience to encourage the children to try new food. This social time is spent chatting to their friends and teachers, whilst practising their table manners.
Sample menus
