Nutrition & Mealtimes
Nourishing Little Bodies at Our Dundas Childcare Centre
Food Is Part of How We Care
At Little Jungle, mealtimes are not a pause in the day — they are part of it.
Every meal we serve is thoughtfully prepared, nutritionally balanced, and shared in a warm, unhurried environment where children feel safe, supported, and genuinely nourished.
NSW Health certified
Little Jungle is a Munch & Move approved centre — a NSW Health initiative that sets clear standards for nutrition and physical activity in early childhood settings aged 0–6.
It is not a logo we display. It is a standard we cook to every single day.
Our approach
Educators at the table, not just in the room
Our educators sit alongside children at mealtimes, eat with them, and make the table a place of conversation, connection, and calm. This models healthy eating behaviours and builds a positive relationship with food from the earliest years.
Independence at the table, guided by a familiar face
Exploring new foods without pressure or expectation
Building confidence in appetite and healthy choices
