We pride ourselves on providing food that is:
- Tasty and substantial, so children have the energy to learn and don’t go home hungry and crabby.
- Healthy and safe, in keeping with government guidelines.
- Tailored to children’s special needs.
- Interactive and educational, with children involved in preparing, serving and learning about food.
- Responsive to parent’s and children’s suggestions.
- Communal, as we celebrate good food and share meals together.
Each service has a water filter to encourage children to drink lots of water.
Please tell our staff about your child’s food preferences, intolerances and allergies.
