What’s for lunch?​

The New Shoots kitchen is at the heart of our early childhood centres because we value the importance of food and nutrition and appreciate our role in establishing healthy eating habits for your tamariki.

We know quality food and a full belly contribute to growth, development, and contentment.

A nourishing, colourful menu

Your tamariki will relish our daily menus which are created by London City and Guild-trained chefs, and monitored and checked by a qualified nutritionist.

Every meal, every day, is well-balanced, nutrient-dense and tasty, with limited gluten and refined sugars.

If your tamariki has any allergies or intolerances to certain foods or food groups, please talk to your Centre Director.
