our meals of the day!
We offer your children nutritious, balanced meals in hope to encourage good and healthy eating habits. All meals are cooked in our own kitchen downstairs in Baloos.
Our menus change every three months, keeping up with seasonal changes allowing the children to try a range of different meals as well as tasting different cultured foods. All children are allowed second helpings and are offered every meal even if previous meals haven't been eaten.
All children are always line up and wash their hands before eating their meals, they also hand out all their own plates and cups to their table.
Our team sit with the children at meal times to provide a good example for the children to follow. All dietary/allergy requirements are met happily. Parents are always informed on how their children have eaten throughout the day.
