At Launchpad we value healthy eating and we will educate our children on it’s many benefits. Nutritious food is one of the best fuels for growing bodies and brains and imbedding good eating habits from a young age helps children to grow into healthy adults. You can also relax in the knowledge that your child will return home after a day at Launchpad having eaten healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.
We have a qualified cook and an enormous kitchen where our menu will be prepared fresh daily & it will be nutritious, varied & delicious! We will also use produce from our fruit trees and veggie patches when it’s available. Our menus are displayed outside the kitchen.
We can cater to dietary requirements and take the management of allergies/anaphylaxis and intolerances very seriously. All of our staff are trained in First Aid and Anaphylaxis/Epipen.
The Healthy Eating Advisory Service is a Victorian Government initiative where nutritionists & dieticians provide terrific guidance for improving wellbeing through healthy eating. We will be using their Early Childhood guidelines to prepare wholesome home cooked meals and snacks for our Launchpad little people.
Eating good food is one of life’s pleasures and eating nutritious food is the best fuel for growing brains and bodies- to be smart, we need to eat smart!
