Food and Nutrition

All meals for children are supplied and cooked on the premises.

Heathcote Valley Preschool provides healthy meals for the children to keep them healthy and energised. We encourage children to keep hydrated and they have access to water at all times. We have a chef who will prepare healthy snacks and fresh fruits for morning, afternoon and late snack times, and hot meals and homemade bread for lunch.

Nursery children will have pureed vegetables with their lunches. Our menu is designed to give a balanced diet to your children while developing healthy attitudes towards a variety of nutritious food.

Good meal time hygiene is promoted with children being taught to wash their hands before eating. We also encourage independence and promote children to use their own utensils when eating. However staff are always available to help those less skilled with a spoon or a fork.

We are able to facilitate special dietary requirements on an individual basis, i.e. children with specific allergies or medical problems.
