From capital cities to country towns, Woolworths at Work helps Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services across the country source quality, fresh local produce for their scrumptious menus.
As educators, you and your staff have the opportunity to encourage fun, healthy eating and nutrition with children and their families. A nutritious early learning menu allows your centres to promote healthy eating habits and food principles that form the foundation of a healthy, balanced attitude towards food.
Here are a few ways you can raise the bar in your ECEC kitchen.
Fresh is best
We know how important taste, nutrition and value are when it comes to menu planning for your early learning service. And we believe fresh, local produce ticks all three of those boxes.
We partner with thousands of farmers across the country to source high quality, fresh Australian produce. We choose homegrown items wherever possible, with 96% of fruit and veg and 100% of fresh meat, eggs and milk sourced from local suppliers.
When you shop with us, you know your fresh produce will be top notch – and if you’re not 100% happy with the quality of your fruit and veg, we’ll fully refund you.1
Keep it local
We’re all about supporting local communities, and we know you are too. Our vast network of suppliers allows us to source fresh, local produce wherever you are in the country. It’s our goal to ensure the fruit and veg that ends up in your kitchen is never grown too far away.
Plus, through our Supplier Excellence Program, we work closely with our growers and suppliers to provide safe and consistent quality products for our Own Brand products with compliance on safety and quality requirements.
Choose a full-service supplier
When your full list of ECEC essentials come from a single supplier, you can save huge amounts of time, money and stress. Your staff no longer need to spend valuable time on things like placing multiple orders, submitting expenses, and invoicing, reporting and delivery management across multiple platforms.
Our smart business shopping solution lets you manage your entire network’s purchases in one place – whether you operate from one location or 100.
