Please bring the food choices you prepare for your child at home, if required by parents’ food can be stored in the fridge and heated if needed. Families are advised to bring enough food for the time that your child is at the Centre.Please view new Health and Safety recommendations released by the Ministry of Education regarding lunch food preparation. These recommendations came into effect January 2021. This information will be made available in the parent policy and procedure folder found by the sign in area at our Centre.• Nappies- If your child requires nappies these can be provided daily, or bulk packets left at the Centre.
