Our Kitchen
& OzHarvest
FROM THE KITCHEN
At Dalmeny Day Care Centre, we prioritise the health and well-being of every child by providing three nutritious, balanced meals each day. Our menu is carefully designed to offer a variety of fresh, wholesome ingredients that support the growth and development of young children. We are fully committed to accommodating children with allergies and intolerances, working closely with parents to ensure that any dietary restrictions are fully understood and respected. Our experienced staff is trained to handle food sensitivities with the utmost care, ensuring that meals are prepared safely and that all children enjoy delicious, safe, and nourishing options tailored to their individual needs.
MEET OUR NUTRITION MANAGER, MEZ
Mez, our dedicated Nutrition Manager, holds a High Distinction in the Advanced Certificate of Nutrition & Health, specialising in Infant, Childhood and Adolescent Nutrition. She is passionate about creating meals that children not only love but are also packed with essential nutrients. Each day, she prepares three wholesome meals and a nutritious late afternoon snack.
​
We love collaborating with families! Centre recipes are shared, and we warmly welcome menu suggestions from parents to ensure everyone feels part of our nutrition journey.
OZ HARVEST
We are proud to partner with OzHarvest to reduce food waste and promote sustainability in our kitchen. By using surplus food from OzHarvest, we are able to incorporate a wide variety of fresh, nutritious ingredients into our daily meals, ensuring that our menus are both healthy and diverse.
This collaboration allows us to minimize food waste by repurposing perfectly good food that would otherwise go to landfill, while providing the children with wholesome, nutritious options. Through this initiative, we not only support our commitment to healthy eating but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
