Health & Nutrition

At Jenny's, we understand the vital role that nutrition plays in the growth and development of young children. We are committed to providing healthy and balanced meals that nourish both their bodies and minds. Our goal is to instill lifelong healthy eating habits while accommodating various dietary needs and preferences.

Our Approach to Nutrition:

  • Balanced Meals

    Our menu is carefully crafted to ensure that children receive a variety of nutrients essential for their growth and development. We offer a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products to support their overall health.

  • Fresh and Locally Sourced Ingredients

    We prioritize the use of fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. This not only enhances the quality and flavour of our meals but also supports local farmers and reduces our carbon footprint.

  • Allergies Awareness

    We understand the importance of catering to children with food allergies or dietary restrictions. Our kitchen staff are trained to handle allergens safely, and we offer alternative options to accommodate individual needs.

  • Nutrition Education

    We believe that teaching children about nutrition from a young age is essential for fostering healthy habits. Through interactive activities and discussions, we educate children about the importance of making nutritious food choices.

Healthy Eating Habits at Jenny's:

  • Family-Style Dining

    We promote a family-style dining environment where children sit together and share meals. This encourages social interaction, promotes independence, and allows children to develop healthy eating habits by observing their peers.

  • Positive Mealtime Environment

    We strive to create a positive and relaxed atmosphere during mealtimes. Our educators engage with children in conversation, encourage them to try new foods, and provide gentle guidance on proper table manners.

  • Hydration

    Staying hydrated is crucial for children's health and well-being. We ensure that freshwater is readily available throughout the day and encourage children to drink water regularly.

  • Snack Policy

    We offer nutritious snacks between meals to keep children energized and satisfied. Our snacks are carefully selected to provide a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats.

At Jenny's Child Care & Play, we are dedicated to promoting the health and well-being of every child in our care through nutritious meals and positive eating experiences. If you have any questions or concerns about our approach to nutrition, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
