Our menus are available on our Lilio app under the calendar tab, where parents can view our Chef's 4-week rotating menus featuring wholesome, natural foods. Our kitchen ensures that children not only receive nutritious meals but also enjoy a positive dining experience, fostering a healthy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime.
We accommodate all dietary preferences and requests. As part of our standard offerings, we use lactose-free cheese in all dishes and provide a variety of milk alternatives such as lactose-free, almond, or oat milk.
We cater to vegan diets by offering meals that mirror those enjoyed by other children throughout the day. Our vegan options include vegan margarine, fortified almond or soy drinks, and a selection of commonly found meatless protein alternatives.
We post examples of current snacks and meals on Facebook and Instagram. Below are a few examples.

Every couple weeks we make the choice to introduce a new food to the children. We have explored Bok choy, pomegranate, Choko, Pomello and Gooseberry are some examples.

Every child has the opportunity to be full, some of our children enjoy 3 platefuls of delicious meals. Food is never used as a reward or punishment. We promote a positive relationship with food and encourage them to try new things.
