Healthy treats at Wiedewei

At Wiedewei we stand for healthy, conscious choices. Not only in the activities we do and the environment of the children, but also in the food we offer. We do not only want children to taste, but also to learn to discover where food comes from and why healthy food is important. We make them curious about what is on their plate.

Healthy and tasty

Children need energy to discover the world. At Wiedewei, children play, learn and develop outdoors for a large part of the day and they need healthy building blocks for this. That is why we offer children healthy snacks according to the Wheel of Five and drink enough water, usually with a nice taste thanks to fresh fruit. At lunchtime we provide a healthy, warm meal that is not only nutritious, but also attractive and tasty.

Hot meal

Are we having eggplant stew with bulgur, shell pasta or grandma's fig stew with carrot and coucous today? No, you are not reading a restaurant menu. These are the delicious meals on the menu at Wiedewei! At lunchtime, all children at Wiedewei receive a hot meal, tailored to their age. The organization Madagascar prepares the hot meals. They specialize in fresh and healthy meals for childcare. Together with nutritionists, they develop balanced weekly menus that meet the guidelines of the Nutrition Center.

Seeing food makes you eat

The meal times at Wiedewei are not only fun, but also educational. Together with the pedagogical staff, children discover where their food comes from and which vegetables grow in which season. In this way, we turn every meal time into a learning moment. What is nice to see is that children learn a lot from each other at the table, and look at each other a lot. Seeing food makes you eat! And in addition to the fact that peers are a great motivating factor, the pedagogical staff are too. Together with the children, they eat the meal during lunch time, and with their pedagogical tools they know how to stimulate children to taste the bite of the hot meal.
