Meals
We have dedicated staff in our kitchen that enjoy cooking child-friendly meals for your children.
We follow the dietary guidelines and provide children with the recommended allowance of nutrition groups each day.
OUR CENTRE HAS A NO NUTS ALLOWED POLICY – this is to assist children with Allergies/Anaphylaxis.
Our menu is located at the front of our kitchen. We cater to dietary requirements, allergies and cultural beliefs. We encourage all children to try our meals, but will cater to a fussy eater. We endeavour to have mealtimes a positive time, rather than a struggle. No child will go hungry.
Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack are provided daily by Hunny Pots. All meals are cooked and prepared on the premises by our cook.
