Nutrition

We understand that a child’s diet is crucial to their growth and development.

Miniversity Early Learning Centre provides all children’s food except infant bottles and formula. 

We use Kids Gourmet Food (KGF) as our trusted partner to provide high-quality chef-prepared meals for the children. They use high-quality, fresh ingredients and a broad range of flavours and textures to create meals that meet – and often exceed – the latest nutritional guidelines for children in care. The meals are prepared in Brisbane and delivered frozen to us weekly. Furthermore, the early years of a child’s life are instrumental in developing positive, long-term eating habits. In addition, exposing young children to a healthy, diverse diet not only gives them the best start in life but also helps secure their future health, development and well-being as they grow up.

The service provides the following meals throughout the day.

Morning Tea
Lunch 
Afternoon Tea
Late Snack (if required)
 

Menu

Our 6-weekly menu is designed to ensure that there is a balance of nutritional ingredients from all food groups offered throughout the day. Each menu is planned, incorporated and evaluated in conjunction with families and educators while taking into account the recommendations outlined in the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Five Food Groups and requirements under the National Law.

Our weekly menus are displayed on our centre app.
