Food and Nutrition

At the Little Giggles Child Care Centre, we understand the essential role good nutrition and making healthy dietary choices play in the physical and mental development of growing children. That is why our educators work together with families to promote and guide our children toward developing and maintaining positive attitudes about healthy nutrition, which they will ultimately carry through the rest of their lives.

​

The snacks and meals we provide are thoughtfully planned in consultation with the dietary guidelines of the National Health and Medical Research Council and prepared by our in-house cook, whom holds professionally recognised qualifications in food handling, hygiene and early childhood nutrition. We use seasonal fruits and vegetables and other fresh ingredients to create meals that are not only appealing to children’s senses, but are also nutritionally balanced, developmentally appropriate, and observe relevant cultural requirements. The variety of meals we provide encourage our children to develop a keen appreciation for different types and styles of food.

​

Eating at our centre is not only about eating food; it provides opportunities for our children to socialise with their peers and educators, and to develop a strong positive association between healthy eating choices and habits with fun experiences.
