Nutrition

We know that healthy food, drinks and habits greatly impact the learning and growth of your child.

Healthy eating and positive attitudes toward food are promoted at Brainwaves. We provide morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea and enjoy the social aspect of sharing a meal with friends and kaiako. Our meals are nutritionally balanced, developmentally appropriate, suitably portioned and packed with fresh wholesome ingredients, following New Zealand nutritional guidelines. We offer a range of tastes and textures, including vegetables, fresh fruit, lean meat, fish, chicken, yoghurt and cheese. Children are encouraged to drink water or milk throughout the day.

We can accommodate food related allergies or cultural/religious food preferences and adjust our menu accordingly.
