We actively promote a healthy eating policy in the setting. All meals and snacks are nutritionally planned and prepared in our kitchen. We know that simple and wholesome food done well is one key aspect to happy children. We use fresh and locally grown food produce where possible. We believe it will set a pattern for the rest of the children’s lives by involving them in preparing healthy food at a young age.
