Health and Nutrition
Health and Nutrition
Our amazing in-house chef, Holly, prepares nutritious, delicious meals right here on-site! With her magic touch, she creates everything from scratch such as freshly baked bread, fluffy muffins, and tasty afternoon tea treats that kids (and parents!) can’t get enough of.
Every meal is carefully planned to suit each child’s cultural preferences, medical needs, and dietary requirements. Holly also involves the children in cooking sessions, giving them hands-on experience in food preparation - from mixing and measuring to taste-testing, kids get to explore new flavours and pick up essential life skills along the way!
