However, with parents today demanding healthier meals and a wider range of activities for their bubs, each new daycare centre that pops up is more elaborate and modern than the last.

Children at the daycare are given the opportunity to experience healthy food options from the start by actively planting, growing and picking vegetables and herbs in centre’s gardens which are then used in recipes.
Children are also encouraged to use real crockery and utensils at all meal times, taste meals of different cuisines and be seated at a table with other children to foster social conversations over a nutritious meal.
