Our Gold Healthy Heart Menu
Welcome to BestStart Pukuatua! Read about our nutritious, delicious gold healthy heart menu.
Here at BestStart Pukuatua we have worked hard with the New Zealand Heart Foundation to create meals that are high in fibre while low in salt and fat. All our food is prepared by Roseanne, our centre cook with no processed foods added to our daily menu. All meals are prepared fresh onsite every day!
All team members attend regular professional development to ensure we are all trained in providing top-quality food, exercise and nutrition advice for all our children and whanau. Here at BestStart Pukuatua, we have no outside food bought into the centre. If we have a birthday celebration we will have a ceremony or a "party" for the child with our own specially prepared food.
Every two years, we re-apply to the New Zealand Heart Foundation for a renewal of our Healthy Heart Award to make sure we are keeping up the standard of nutrition that our tamariki deserve. We have the most amazing food such as homemade butter chicken, spaghetti bolognese, fried rice, macaroni and cheese, yoghurt, puree fruit - and so much more! There are lots of hidden vegetables within our food that we add for extra nutrition.
Pop in and smell the amazing food for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
