Fan Favourite - Autumn Menu - Butter Chicken

Our centres are focused on providing all the children in our care, with healthy and nutritious meals or snacks that have been designed to provide your child with a balanced diet whilst in our care.

Working with our centre cooks, in line with, feedAustralia - an Australian Government initiative we provide a seasonal menu to suit even the fussiest eater.

One of our centre favourites this month was our easy-to-make Butter Chicken and Rice recipe, and we felt it was too good to keep it a secret!
