Healthy Eating at Leppington Childcare

At Leppington Childcare, we believe healthy eating is the key to happy, thriving children. Our carefully planned menus not only meet nutritional needs but also make mealtimes a fun, social, and educational experience. From balanced meals to hands-on food activities, we’re helping children develop a lifelong love of good food.

Nutritious Meals, Thoughtfully Planned

Every day, children enjoy balanced meals and snacks designed to support their growth and wellbeing. To create our menus, we use FeedAustralia’s menu planning software, which helps us align with the Australian Dietary Guidelines while meeting each child’s needs. This ensures appropriate portion sizes, a wide variety of foods, and thoughtful consideration of allergies and intolerances. Parents can feel confident knowing their child’s daily nutritional requirements are being met with care and precision.

 

More Than Just Mealtimes

At Leppington, we see mealtimes as moments for connection and learning. Educators sit alongside the children, creating a relaxed, social atmosphere where healthy eating habits are encouraged in a positive and supportive way. Conversations about the food on their plates spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire children to try new tastes.

 

Learning Through Food

Nutrition also plays a role in our educational program. Children take part in food tastings, simple cooking experiences, and discussions about where food comes from. These hands-on activities nurture curiosity and help children build lifelong skills while developing a healthy relationship with food.

Nurturing Healthy Habits for Life

At Leppington Childcare, food is more than just fuel. It’s a way to nurture growing bodies, spark curiosity, and create joyful moments around the table. By combining balanced nutrition with meaningful mealtime experiences, we’re supporting children to develop healthy habits that will last well beyond their early years.
