Plant-based nutritionally balanced menu

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’ve adopted a plant-based approach to all our meals here at the kindergarten.

Our menu

We create our all our snacks, lunches, puddings and suppers from scratch and largely with the children, mainly using fruit and vegetables grown in our kitchen garden. We do not buy anything in – the children make their own breadsticks, crackers and bread so we can monitor all the goodness that goes into everything your child will consume. Our plant-based lunches made using our two thermomixes….

 

 

All of their recipes are available on the menu page so that you can make your child’s favourite dishes at home.

The kitchen

The kitchen is central to the kindergarten, so our children experience the wonderful smells as meals are being prepared, and also get involved in preparing food and composting afterwards. We use as much as possible from our kitchen garden. The children take great pride in eating things they’ve grown themselves and making things from things they have grown themselves.

We cater for all dietary requirements and allergies, so will replace anything on our menu where needed.

Sustainable and seasonal

Because we shop, forage, grow, harvest and cook sustainably and seasonally, your children will have a holistic ‘seed to plate’ experience, embedding an early, healthy interest in food.
