Childcare Menu: Fresh, Wholesome FOOD & FUN at Grace Village

We are committed to the well-being of our little villagers – and that starts with their nutrition.

We believe healthy food, drinks and eating habits greatly impact the learning and growth of our little villagers and their futures. Every seasonal menu meets – and often succeeds – the latest nutritional requirement for our little villagers.

Meeting Australian dietary guidelines

All our menus are designed to meet the recommended criteria of the Australian Dietary Guidelines & the National Quality Standards. Providing a minimum of 50% of the RDI of all nutrients required for each day in care.

From seed to garden, to kitchen to plate

At Grace Village, we celebrate fresh and local. In fact, with some of the produce served grown on-site in our very own garden, we don’t just celebrate it; we LIVE it!

Our outdoor villager team work closely with our cooks to plan menus. Ensuring you’ll find only the fruits, vegetables and herbs that are at their seasonal best on our specials menu.

Qualified, professional cooks

Our delicious, nutritionally balanced childcare menu is prepared and cooked by experienced and qualified cooks. Every day they prepare fresh, wholesome homemade meals that will help your little villager be their absolute best.

Our kitchen tribe love instilling a passion for food in little ones. Creating delicious menus filled with a broad range of vegetables, fruits, cereals, lean meat, fish, chicken, milks, yoghurts and cheeses.

And not just high-quality fresh ingredients. Our cooks focus on smells, textures, and flavours, appropriate to the developmental stages of each age group. Creating a wonderful, delicious range of meals and learning experiences.

From the heart of our village, our kitchen tribe brings a seasonal menu to our village.

Sample childcare menu

Our seasonal morning and afternoon tea menus include a wide selection of fresh fruit and raw vegetables, with fresh, steamed vegetables served at lunchtime.

Catering to every child’s requirements

Our food options mean you have total peace of mind. Food allergies, cultural concerns and many other special requirements are all safely catered for, without compromising on a fun and healthy mealtime experience!

Our kitchen tribe customise meals for children with specific food requirements. We are very aware of the importance of accommodating any special requirements and avoiding cross-contamination. We will always provide our families with a comprehensive list of ingredients for each meal.

For additional reassurance, we do not use nuts in our entire food preparation area.

In all cases, we ensure as far as possible that all children have a positive and sociable eating experience.

Little Villagers becoming little Healthy Master Chefs

Our Healthy Master Chef program is filled with engaging activities centred on seed sprouting, weeding, herb gardens, vegetable gardens, eating what we grow from our own garden and regular cooking experiences.

In our dedicated village kitchen, where we also incorporate the NSW Government’s “Munch and Move”, our little villagers are never too young to learn about good nutrition and cooking. Here they enjoy simple and fun discussions about eating well and providing good fuel for our bodies.

What Parents Say

Grace Village Early Learning Centre

See all reviews
GV has fantastic facilities including a third space for parents, an art atelier, lovely free-play outdoor spaces, and an epic undercover play area that allows children to be feel as though they are... playing outdoors when the weather doesn’t allow for true outside play. No other centre we have toured has offered play areas like this.We chose GV for our children because of their play-based (Reggio Emilia) philosophy and approach. We love that our little people have been able to be barefoot most of the time, supporting sensory feedback and encouraging their physical and mental development.Everyone at GV shows love for our children as they would their own. GV has been our home away from home, our family and greatest support through some very hard times.Thank you to all the nurturing educators, carers and all of the GV tribe for guiding our young man and little lady through their special formative and most impressionable years.read more

Grace Village Huntingwood is an amazing early learning centre that continuously goes above and beyond to provide exceptional care for all the children and support families with the challenges of... working life. Unfortunately we moved away from this area, but I continued to drive 45 minutes each way to send my daughter here before she started kindergarten. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for above and beyond care for their child/ren. The staff really care about the children and it is an extension of your family life. Thanks to the team for all the amazing care for our children!read more

My child has attended this lovely village for almost 4 years. Awesome learning center as there is always a little bit of extra effort in every single thing that they do. They have amazing and... friendly staff, great facilities and all round activities to ensure that a child develops physically,socially,emotionally and mentally well balanced. In each special occasion they have given us special memories whether in the app, physical souvenirs and lots of memories we’ll look back on when they grow older. My son is now in kindy but he still misses the staff and his friends there. Amazing and highly recommended team !read more

My two children have been with Grace Village from 8months old. Just over 3years later, we are relocating, and finding it hard to find a learning centre that is up to the standard of GV. The entire... team at Grace Village has always given our two children such high quality education, care, and emotional support. Communication was always open and clear. It’s really is a village environment, we are blessed to have been a part of & will miss everyone who made a beautiful impact on our children’s first years of life. Thank you Grace Village!read more

This is an amazing centre for your child. Both my son and my baby girl attended here. My son was unsettled in another centre for almost 1 year. After I moved him to GV at age 3.5, he only cried very... little at drop off and settled in fully within 3 days! He looked forward coming to GV everyday!. Their indoor and outdoor play areas are amazing!The educators here are very caring, professional and responsive to you child. They will try their best to keep you updated. And I love that GV also look after the family by giving them coffee/ treats and sometimes dinner boxes so it takes some pressure off as a parent! It's so much fun for the kids here and they are learning a lot at the same time. Highly recommended.read more
