Last week, we hosted our first-ever interactive workshop for the early childhood sector, Growing Good Eaters—and what a success it was!
We welcomed an incredible group of cooks, educators, and managers from centres across Melbourne to the beautiful Novotel Glen Waverley. There’s truly nothing like this event in the sector right now, and the energy in the room was inspiring. It was a day packed with great food, lively conversations, and plenty of lightbulb moments.
How the day unfolded…
Our Managing Director, Nicole emceed the day perfectly, setting the tone for an engaging and collaborative experience focused on all things food.
Our VIC Dietetic Team shared practical tips on building healthy habits, managing fussy eating, and creating nutritious menus. They showed how easy it is to tweak recipes so every menu hits all the food groups, and we wowed the room with a live demo turning a watermelon into a fun birthday “cake.”
Our Speech Pathologist, shared valuable guidance on creating safe and inclusive environments for neurodiverse children.
The Food Safety Team brought energy and fun with their glitter handwashing game, “spot the errors” kitchen challenge, and hidden allergen activity. Their passion for food safety truly shone through.
To close the day, our CEO and Auditor shared common mistakes she encounters during childcare audits. Her real-world examples were an eye-opener for many attendees.
A huge thank you to our wonderful suppliers who helped make the day even better.
