Healthy eating is essential for your child's good health, growth and development. Healthy eating in childhood means they will have less chance of developing chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and some cancers. It will also mean they feel better and enjoy life more.
To stay healthy and maintain a healthy weight, children need to be physically active and eat the right amount of nutrients to balance the energy they use.
Children’s meals at our centre are supplied by KGF (Kids Gourmet Food). KGF cooks and delivers fresh, nutritious, home-style meals every day.
KGF uses high-quality, fresh ingredients and a broad range of flavours and textures to create meals that meet – and often exceed – the latest nutritional guidelines for children in care.
In our six-week rotational menu, your children’s meals contain food from the five food groups recommended by the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
Healthy and balanced meals include a variety of fresh vegetables and legumes, seasonal fruit, wholegrains and seeds, lean fresh meat, fish and dairy options.
We place utmost importance on accommodating any special requirements to ensure that your children can eat safely and have an enjoyable eating experience. Our centre is allergy aware and also provides separate menus for children with vegetarian or other cultural preferences such as Halal.
In all cases, we ensure as far as possible that no children have to compromise on a positive and sociable eating experience.
