Our cook has trained both overseas and locally. He has a commitment to provide fresh food daily. He does not believe in using pre-prepared items and everything is created “from scratch” every day. The menu is varied and is created based on what is fresh and available at the markets, as well as being sensitive to what our children enjoy eating.

Each day we serve breakfast for those early risers as well as morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.

The children are offered fruit throughout the day. They are also encouraged to try new tastes and flavours.
