The Centre has a cook who prepares your child’s meals. All food is supplied here at the Centre including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea and a late snack.

Our menu is planned around the Australian dietary guidelines which ensure your child will be receiving a nutritionally balanced menu that provides at least half of a child’s daily food and nutritional needs. We provide an eating environment that is safe, positive and supports healthy eating for children.

Educators have training in food hygiene, with food safety practices in place.

The daily menu is an 8 week rotating menu that is prepared fresh daily by our cook and is displayed in the foyer.
