Food and nutrition

Meals and snacks throughout the day, planned for growing bodies.

Each day we serve breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack for children who stay past 5pm. Water is available all day and is our preferred drink, in line with Dental Association and Nutrition Australia guidelines.

Allergy aware

Our menus cater for a range of allergies and lifestyle choices, including vegetarian and vegan. Our Klemzig and Pooraka centres are fully vegetarian.

Because of allergies, we ask families not to bring any food or milk into the centre.

Our menu standards

• Menus based on the "Start Right Eat Right" scheme for South Australian childcare centres
• Meals that meet 50% of a child's daily nutrition needs
• All staff trained in food hygiene
• A relaxed, social mealtime that builds healthy habits
