In-House Chef Services
Delivering nutritious food is a big priority at Bridge Road Early Learning Centre.
Meals that satisfy even the pickiest of eaters
We understand all too well the frustration and worry when dealing with picky eaters. Our childcare centre has a team of in-house chefs who make it their mission to create interesting and delicious meals every day.
Research shows that having a balanced diet has a significant impact on a child’s learning and development. This is why mealtimes are a highly important part of our daily routine. Children sit at our outdoor communal table, where plenty of laughter, expressions, and mindful eating take place.
Prepared freshly (and lovingly) by our in-house chefs
Every mealtime is a nourishing one at Bridge Road ELC. Working in a commercial-grade kitchen that’s regularly inspected for cleanliness, our in-house chefs work hard to prepare only the best foods. All chefs are vetted and qualified individuals with a passion for cooking.
Approved by the Healthy Eating Advisory Services
Rest easy knowing we comply with strict regulations when it comes to food and nutrition at our childcare centre. Bridge Road ELC meals are assessed and passed by nutritionists and dietitians at Victoria’s Healthy Eating Advisory Service board.
Since 2012, the Healthy Eating Advisory Service has supported organisations across Victoria in promoting healthier foods and drinks, and in meeting government food and drink policies and guidelines. Learn more about them through the link below.
Our sample daily meal menu
Our in-house chefs offer a specialised, 4-week rotating menu that caters to all dietary allergies, food preferences, and cultural preferences. Here’s a sample of our healthy daily meal menu.
Cultural preferences and dietary requirements
Adapting to new foods can be challenging for a child. That’s why we take great care in incorporating meals that feel just like home. Our team will work with you to understand what your child loves and what they don’t, and we also implement seasonal menus that showcase the different and diverse cultures of our families.
If your child has any cultural preferences, allergies, or dietary restrictions with food, please inform our staff. Our in-house chefs are here to accommodate and provide a suitable substitute that’s equally nutritious.
