25.01.2022 NEW MENU We are very excited to announce that Kate has completed the first 4 week menu which will be starting next week. This new menu meets all of the guidelines set out by the Healthy Eating Advisory Service. The process of compiling and getting the new menu assessed and accepted as meeting all of these guidelines has been a long but very enjoyable project for Kate and we are so thankful to her for all of her hard work!... The fresh new menu is titled Spring however we have decided to run this menu through to Autumn to avoid rushing the summer menu through. Due to COVID-19 our normal mealtimes have had to be adjusted to meet the COVID Hygiene Guidelines however we are so pleased to advise that after being in contact with the Healthy Eating Advisory Service we can now return to supervised self-serving for the children while ensuring normal hygiene practices. The return of this independence and sense of choice will be fantastic for the children especially those in the Astro, Galaxy & Kindergarten rooms to explore the new menu.

14.01.2022 A friendly reminder that we will be closed Tuesday 3rd November for The Melbourne Cup Public Holiday!

09.01.2022 Message from the kitchen I would like to advise you all of the exciting new menu that is coming. The Healthy Eating Advisory Service of the Victorian Government has introduced new menu guidelines for Long Day Care.... There is going to be some changes which may take a little adjusting for us all. The biggest change will be the removal of our dessert option. I have experienced this before and although at first the children are very disappointed, over a very short time they adjust and start to eat more of the main meal instead of saving room for dessert. Most morning teas on the Spring and Summer menus there will be Fresh fruit with toast once a week on an alternate day through the 4 week menu. There will be more substantial Afternoon Teas also, some examples from the new Spring Menu are Vege Muffin with a yoghurt fruit smoothie, Fresh fruit salad with Natural Yoghurt There are also some exciting new recipes introducing more texture into the children’s diets also more options in their bowl, side salads, pita triangles, plain rice.

03.01.2022 An important announcement from Ambulance Victoria in regards to the storms we will be experiencing this week.
