Little Poppy’s
Nutritional Programme

Little Poppy’s Preschool food philosophy is centred on meeting the full nutritional needs of our tamariki. We have developed a healthy food programme that has a variety of fresh produce supplied locally. Our recipes are based on family-style eating that is prepared and cooked onsite.

Our Chef collaborates with teachers and families to ensure the physical and emotional safety of children with food allergies or sensitivities, cultural requirements, and of particular eaters.

We run on a four week menu cycle that rotates each week.

Please see a sample of our menu below or download here.
