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.

Discover more about our healthy master chef educational program – 8 Little Villagers

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.

First of all there's a child care that looks after the kids&Then there's Grace Village Early Learning centre that nurtures your kids. It is meant that a child's development begins from the pillar... and Grace Villageis a pillar. After 2 years of tenure with Grace Village ELC, I realise that there could not have been a better place for my daughter. Their professionalism is at its best. A most recommended ELC for the parents looking to enrol their kids. There is no option to give more stars or else I would give 10/10.read more

My first born son attended Grace Village ELC for more than two years and was joined by his brother when I went back to work. I could not recommend the centre enough, not only do they have amazing... facilities with spacious indoor play area, lovely educators and quality programmes, they also have been great in balancing being professional and personable at the same time. I am so grateful that they have been a part of my boys' early learning and they will be missed dearly. All the best!read more

Grace village is a such a wonderful and vibrant childcare centre. My daughter absolutely loves attending the centre and she has thrived ever since! The educators are friendly and very patient. The... centre is well equipped with educational aids and equipment and it has a large sandpit which all of the kids love! It is such a fun centre!The directors/owners are lovely people who are also very dedicated, welcoming and accommodating.The centre celebrates Easter, Christmas and Mothers and Fathers day well, by involving the families. They put on lavish and wonderful luncheons and events at the centre. I love how they involve everyone, not just the child. I cannot recommend them enough!!! 😍read more

I have had my children at grace village since it opened, I knew from the moment I walked in and was greeted by the childcare centre owners ( Ray and Chantel) that this is where I want to send my... children. I basically was ready to sign my children up untill the centre just got better and better, they took me through the the rooms which are beautiful and then I was shown the kitchen (OMG the kitchen) the children go to eat their meals in this mini cafeteria it is the cutest thing and I loved that my children were able to see each other during meal times.Then we walked into the indoor play space and wow just wow it’s honestly something you haven’t seen before I just LOVED the fact that if it was completely pouring down rain my very active boys could still play( indoor play space) like they were playing outside.The staff are amazing!!! And i could go on and on and on about how great this place is but you have to go see it yourself.read more

Grace village has been absolute game changer for my family! My son Hamza attended and The AMAZING staff at Grace Village are the most patient, friendly, kind, warm, respectful, professional,... engaging people I've ever met. The love, security, education and energy they provide the classrooms and each child is unbelievable, they not only engage with my son but they quite often tailor activities to his needs and interests; they provide him the opportunity to "help" around the centre and they really try to maintain a positive and happy atmosphere/environment for the kids. I would highly recommend this early learning centre to everyone who is looking for a place for their child to not only learn, but to blossom and be cared for on not only a professional and educational level but a maternal level too. The educators are simply amazing. We only took our Son out as we have moved to interstate and honestly miss you team.read more

My daughter has been attending Grace Village for the past 3 months and had settled really well and clearly enjoys going to daycare. As an anxious mum, I was surprised how comfortable I have been... leaving my daughter there every day, but I know she will be so well looked after.She is really flourishing, and the updates each day show just how much thought and care goes into planning activities for the children every week. I am so surprised how much my little one has developed in the few weeks she has been there, especially as she's only part time. Already she is speaking much more and has learned to walk (although she insists on being carried around a lot at daycare!)From the moment I walked in I knew I wanted to send her to this daycare, and we were on the waiting list for a year before a spot opened up, but I am so glad we stayed on the waiting list. It has been the perfect fit for our family and I am so grateful to all the wonderful educators, there really isn't a weak link - they have all be amazing!read more
