Reviewing your menu and nutrition practices will support your centre to meet the National Quality Standards, and more importantly ensure the children in your care are receiving nourishing foods for growing minds and bodies.
Why review your menu?
Having your menu reviewed is a quality improvement activity where you will receive support from an experienced Dietitian to:
– Improve provision of the five core food groups and reduce the amount of discretionary foods on your menu
– Support your centre cook in menu planning to meet 50% of children’s food requirements
– Get ideas for snacks, meals and simple recipe modifications
– Get more positive feedback from parents about your centre menu
What is included?
– A meeting with a Dietitian over the phone
– Review of a 4-week menu to assess if you are meeting 50% of children’s daily food requirements
– A comprehensive report with tailored recommendations
– Follow up phone support/optional meeting to discuss implementation of recommendations
