For the babies in the Ducklings room, we also provide rusks and fresh pureed baby foods between meals and as required for the individual nutritional needs of this age group. If for any reason your child cannot eat certain foods, please note this on your enrolment form and complete a special diet form to ensure that we serve your child appropriate food.

Please ensure that any food allergies are noted on your enrolment form and a separate Allergy Form.

The Centre offers variety and choice in each day’s menu. We are not able to cook separate meals for fussy eaters. We will, however, ensure that children with specific dietary or medical requirements or cultural beliefs are provided with suitable food as per the special diet form.
