Food Regulations in ECE
Kia ora Wellington Whānau
Happy New Year and welcome to the beautiful summer of 2021 (Yay) I see Hataitai beach is busy and love seeing the tamariki and whanau enjoying these amazing Wellington days at the beach and local parks - how lucky are we!
There's been a lot in the news the past few weeks about the changes in food being served in early childhood centre's and new regulations that came into affect from the 25th Jan.
At Greta Point AE, we are very fortunate to have Jo here who provides awesome meals for our children each day, and she is also very aware of the changes and has already been catering for this.
Attached is a PDF that explains what the changes mean for those of you who need to provide lunch boxes at Daycares and Kindergarten's - but you want hassle free mornings not making up lunchboxes (shameless plug here for our Center) and to be assured that someone is looking out for these regulations and providing Heathly Heart Gold standard food - come and see us at Greta Point Active Explorers.
(please note there is a waiting list for spaces)

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

21.2% No
