Wholesome Kids Catering, formally Food for Tots, provides healthy and nutritious hot meals and snack

10/09/2026

Thanksgiving brings opportunities for children to experience different foods, discover new flavours, and enjoy time together around the table.

The smallest changes in how we talk about food can make a difference! Offering children choices and asking curious questions about the food, rather than focusing on how much they eat, can help create a more relaxed and positive mealtime experience.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Wholesome Kids Catering!

Back-to-school is a busy season for childcare centres - and for the businesses that help keep their days running smoothly.

At Wholesome Kids Catering, every meal takes a team. This back-to-school season, Team Wholesome showed what care and teamwork look like in action. 💙

After the rush, we took an afternoon to celebrate them. It was a chance to connect, share some laughs and recognize the work behind every meal we prepare and deliver.

We’re so proud of the amazing people who help nourish children every day. Here’s to Team Wholesome and the season ahead! 🎉

They’re often confused, but they’re not the same.🥛

A milk allergy involves the immune system, while lactose intolerance affects the digestive system.

Knowing the difference is an important part of supporting safe, inclusive mealtimes for every child.💙

🌈 Breakfast or snack time just got a little more colourful!

These Veggie Egg Muffins are made with eggs, cheddar cheese, spinach, and bell peppers—our Veggie of the Month! 🫑

Invite children to help choose the veggies, sprinkle in the cheese, or mix the ingredients. Simple food-preparation experiences can encourage curiosity, build familiarity with different foods, and make mealtimes more engaging. 💛

Serve with toast and fruit for breakfast, or enjoy as an easy afternoon snack.

🍓 Breakfast just got a little more playful!

Breakfast Toast Faces turn familiar foods into a hands-on opportunity for creativity, sensory exploration, and food learning. Children can spread, arrange, and choose from colourful fruits to create their own silly, happy, or surprised faces.

Activities like this can help build familiarity with different foods while giving children choice and keeping mealtimes positive and pressure-free. 🍌🥝🫐

Try it at your next childcare breakfast or snack and ask: “What expression is your toast making today?”

🥕 Did you know? Talking about food is just as important as serving it!

Simple, curious questions can help children explore food in a fun, pressure-free way:

🥒 “What’s the crunchiest thing on your plate?”
🌈 “Which colour did you try first?”
😋 “What does that taste like?”

These little conversations encourage children to notice different tastes, textures, colours, and smells — without focusing on how much they eat.

💛 Positive food talk can help make mealtimes more enjoyable, engaging, and comfortable for everyone.

🌿🌎 Exploring the world through herbs and spices!

At Wholesome Kids Catering, we believe healthy eating is about more than what's on the plate. It is about creating experiences that spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and build lifelong healthy habits.

One of our favourite nutrition workshops is 'Around the World', where daycare children discover herbs and spices from different cultures, learn where they come from, smell their unique aromas, and add them to their own meals. This hands-on experience encourages children to explore new flavours while learning about the foods and traditions that connect us around the world.

As part of our commitment to supporting early learning, we offer every daycare centre customer one complimentary nutrition workshop each year, led by our dedicated Nutritional Services team.

Together, we are helping children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of trying new foods, one herb and spice at a time. 💚

❌ MYTH: "Protein only comes from meat."

✅ TRUTH: Protein can come from many delicious vegetarian foods, too!

Chickpeas, lentils, beans, Greek yogurt, and cheese are all excellent sources of protein that help support children's growth, muscle development, and energy for learning and play.

Offering a variety of protein-rich foods also introduces children to new flavours and textures while helping build healthy eating habits that can last a lifetime.

Which vegetarian protein is a favourite at your centre?
