MENU THE SCRUMMY DETAILS
MENU PHILOSOPHY The Yummies for Little Tummies menu is designed especially with little ones’ health & wellbeing in mind. Our dietitian approved menu is fresh daily, low in salt & added sugar, rich in essential fats & completely free from nasty additives. We understand that kids need a combination of safe & familiar foods that remind them of home & foods to stretch their palate. We know that veggies aren’t always kids favourites. The Yummies menu allows your kids to explore veggies in their whole, fresh form plus we weave them through the menu in creative ‘hidden’ ways. You will find at the very least three kinds of veggies in all our hot meals. You won’t believe the range of food the kids will end up eating! We love to watch them grow & thrive, just like you.
CENTRE’S CHOICE There are menus for 3 different age groups 6-9 months, 9-12 months, & 12 months+ to support different development stages. There are 4 different weekly menus for each age group that rotate & update seasonally. Centres can also choose their lunch option throughout the year: • Hot meals daily • Cold meals daily • Alternating hot & cold; or • A combination of hot & cold daily (the favourite)
MOST POPULAR The survey says these are Yummies kids fav meals!
