Nutrition to grow little bodies and minds
At The Grove Academy, we believe healthy eating and good nutrition are crucial to your child’s development. We are dedicated to our role of developing and instilling healthy eating habits and behaviours during these early years.
Our Meals
Five nutritionally balanced meals are prepared in our onsite kitchen by our centre Chefs for our children to enjoy daily.
Mealtimes are progressive so children can decide when they’re ready to eat. The meals are served as a buffet to encourage children to be independent with serving their own portions and using their own cutlery.

Crunchy granola yoghurt
Lunch

Grove Gardens
Featuring herbs, vegetables and even fruit; our Grove Gardens are maintained and tended to by our children as part of our sustainability and agriculture programs. The fresh produce is then harvested and used by our chefs to make nutritious and tasty meals for the children.
