NUTRITION
With breakfast, fresh fruit, lunch and afternoon tea enjoyed at preschool each weekday, a significant portion of a child's weekday nutrition happens while they're in our care. That's a responsibility we take seriously. At Bucket House Preschool, every meal is thoughtfully planned and freshly prepared in our on-site kitchen to nourish children's growing bodies and minds. Our menu provides children the energy to learn, the nutrients to thrive and positive food experiences that support healthy habits for life.

Meal Preparation and Curation
All meals served at Bucket House Preschool are prepared in our on-site kitchen by our in-house chef. The menu undergoes careful curation on a weekly basis, aligning with the healthy eating guidelines set by the Singapore Health Promotion Board (HPB).
Diverse and Nutritious Offerings
We take pride in offering a diverse array of foods that cater to various tastes, embrace cultural influences, and align with seasonal availability of fruits and vegetables. Each day, the school provides three well-balanced meals—breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack. Additionally, seasonal fresh fruits are provided before lunch daily.
Variety matters when it comes to nourishing growing children. Different fruits and vegetables provide different fibres, vitamins and minerals. Fibre supports healthy digestion, and some types help feed beneficial gut bacteria, while nutrients such as vitamins A and C support the normal functioning of the immune system.
With nine fruits on rotation and a variety of vegetables across our menu, we introduce children to different colours, flavours and textures, helping them become familiar with a wider range of nutritious foods.
Cultural and Dietary Considerations
Attention is given to ethical, religious, and cultural aspects. The school refrains from serving any food containing pork, lard, or beef, and our food purchases are halal-sourced. While most students share the same meals, exceptions are made for those with allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary preferences. Parents are encouraged to communicate these requirements during registration, and these children are required to bring their own food in named containers from home.
Promoting Healthy Eating Habits
We actively promote the development of healthy eating habits among the children. Parents are encouraged to engage their children in discussions about food to make meals both healthy and enjoyable.
Allergy Policy
Due to severe allergy risks to some children, the school strictly prohibits the presence of all nut-based products in any form within the school premises.
