Getting to know your child
During your tour, our family information form helps us learn about your child’s likes, dislikes and dietary needs. The things you share can help us understand familiar foods, preferences and any concerns you would like to discuss.
Food can be personal: family culture, routines and individual needs all matter. We welcome those conversations as part of getting to know your child.
Allergies and individual dietary needs
Please tell us about any allergies, intolerances or medical needs so we can discuss suitable arrangements with you before care begins.
Allergy support needs to be planned individually, with relevant medical or ASCIA action plans and documented risk-minimisation and communication arrangements. We will discuss your child’s needs with you rather than assume that one arrangement is suitable for everyone.
Please keep the team informed of changes to your child’s health or dietary requirements. This page does not promise an allergen-free environment or that every dietary request can be accommodated.
Communication is key
Getting to know your child is an ongoing conversation, not just a form at enrolment. Please keep talking with our educators about changing preferences, new foods, allergies and any advice from your child’s health professionals.
If something changes, let the team know so it can be discussed and relevant information or plans kept up to date. Together, we can build a clearer picture of what your child needs and how best to support them.
