Your Child’s Nutrition

A nutritious meal will be served at lunch time; wholesome snacks will be provided in the morning and afternoon. All meals are freshly prepared every day and meet all nutritional guidelines. Weekly menus are posted and new ideas are always welcome.

We accommodate children with special dietary needs, and to this end, ask parents to let us know of any allergies or other health issues affecting their children. For those children who suffer from allergies and may require the use of an Epi-pen, the Day Nurseries Act requires that parents provide a training orientation to staff on how to administer the Epi-pen.  Parents must sign off once this training has been completed.

We are vigilant in providing a safe and healthy environment for children under our care.  We recognize that children may have severe allergies to nuts and therefore maintain a nut-free program.  We do not permit food sharing and prohibit individuals from bringing nuts or nut products into any of our centres.  When sending food to the Centre to accommodate your child’s dietary restrictions and/or allergies, please ensure it is both nutritious and nut-free.
