Healthy eating habits for children start by making food fun – and delicious!
Mealtimes at any one of over 170 Guardian centres are always a special time. Food is shared, friendships are formed, and children learn new ways of being themselves, belonging to a group, and becoming curious about the world around them.
The talented Chefs and Cooks across our centres are experts at creating tasty, nutritious meals daily – food that even the fussiest eaters will love!
From introducing new flavours and textures, to creative ways of ‘hiding’ veggies in every day meals, they support children to build an appreciation of food and nutrition.
Mealtime is more than just filling growing tummies.
- It’s an essential part of a child’s learning process.
- Colours and shapes become lessons in math and science.
- Using hands and fingers supports physical development.
- Working together means children learn to express themselves and communicate.
- When mealtimes are fun, children are more likely to try new things, eat a variety of foods, and learn healthy eating habits without even realising it!
