Meals that taste good and are fun to eat
Our chefs are passionate about their work and bring a lifelong experience of healthy food preparation to the task. All of our meals are vegetarian, from angel hair spaghetti to tomato and basil quiche, we make mealtime a new favourite part of your child’s day.
Healthy bodies nurture healthy minds
Childhood nutrition is recognised as an important determinant of adult health and longevity. Not only is early childhood an opportune time to establish a sound physiological foundation for life but even more importantly it offers the opportunity for habitual adoption of healthy eating patterns. Quite a few parents have commented that their children rarely ate vegetables until attending an Acorn Child Care Centre.
