NUTRITION AT BAMBINI CHILDCARE CENTRES
We believe healthy eating habits are instilled at a young age, which guides our approach to nutrition. To ensure that your child has the energy they need to fulfill their potential, we provide a nutritious homemade menu created by our in-house chefs.
“A healthy child is a happy child and a healthy nutritious diet is a priority at Bambini. It is our responsibility to promote good nutrition and to fuel your children with all the nutrients that their bodies need to grow, develop and reach their physical and mental potential.”
NOURISHING YOUR CHILD
Our menus rotate every four weeks to make the most of fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables.
Every menu is focused on the specific nutritional needs of each age group, utilising fresh produce in a variety of recipes to match children’s dietary requirements, as per Nutrition Australia.
Chefs are encouraged to be creative in their recipe selections to find a balance between optimal nutrients and delicious flavours.
Each of our qualified chefs have experience in catering for food allergies and intolerances along with cultural requirements.

NURTURING A LOVE OF FOOD
Mealtime at Bambini is never rushed and is enjoyed as a moment to come together and share conversation.
They are viewed as an opportunity to practice self-help skills and the children are encouraged to serve themselves.
Every child is encouraged to take their time and make decisions about what they eat, while being supported to experience new textures and tastes. If a child isn’t comfortable with the daily menu selection, they are offered alternatives.
We believe in keeping routines flexible to align with home life and the daily needs of the individual child.
