New year, new start – for you and your child

You know the saying, ‘new year, new start’ – we all promise to eat better, get fitter and feel healthier with a list of resolutions we vow to keep.

But are you the only one whose diet needs a revamp? Your little one may need a ‘new start’ too - and that new start could be KiddiChef.

KiddiChef.com is a children’s catering company for parents, local nurseries, schools, childminders and holiday & afterschool clubs.

We create freshly prepared on-the-day meals for all children aged 6 months and above - capturing young, sensitive palettes and introducing children to tasty, healthy ingredients from a young age.

KiddiChef.com has gone right back to basics – we offer home-style cooking and training, using only locally-sourced, fresh ingredients and omitting toxins, chemicals and preservatives that are often found in retail, convenience and other fast foods.

This is a brand new concept – what makes Kiddichef.com unique is that our meals are made fresh on the day of purchase, without any vacuum packing, sealed jars or preservatives.

 

Our intention is to build a sustainable, healthy lifestyle for families. We want to create a community of experts, education establishments and government bodies, providing an accessible network for advice and support in improving children’s health and reducing obesity.

 

As well as this, we provide children with an education in healthy eating and a palette for nutritious ingredients that they can take with them through life.

Not only will eating better food help a child’s health, it will impact, what KiddiChef.com likes to call, their ‘ABC’ - Attention, Behaviour and Concentration.

Our belief is that any product that can sit unrefrigerated on a shelf for a year is not ‘fresh’.  We aim to provide a healthy alternative for parents and organisations, allowing them to provide their children with nutritious, tasty, fresh food every day.

Our multi-cultural menu is ideal for modern, working parents who want healthy, home-cooked food for their child, but do not always have the time to prepare it.

Parents can either pick up our meals from their local Kiddichef.com hotspot or opt for KiddiChef.com’s delivery service. We also service and deliver to nurseries, schools and after-school & holiday clubs, meaning that children can eat healthy food at school and home.

If you want to give KiddiChef a try for the New Year, or simply want a little more information email info@kiddichef.com or call 0121-554-0469.

Who said Christmas was just for kids?

Father Christmas must be rushed off his feet at the North Pole, finalising gift lists and loading the sleigh for Christmas Day. But while you’re waiting for him to arrive, we have some great ideas for festive fun for you and your little one this Christmas!

Potato printing

 

Your bound to have some potatoes left in the bag that didn’t get used for Christmas dinner, make use of them by carving out fun shapes, dipping them in paint and printing! You could try a Christmas tree, a snowman, a star, a candy cane and anything else you can think of!
 

 

 

Make your own Christmas cards

 

You could use your beautiful potato prints to make unique Christmas cards. Everyone loves the thought and effort that goes into a home-made card and it adds a personal touch – nobody else will have a card like it! Use sequins, stencils, felt tips, paint, stickers to create your masterpiece!
 

Gingerbread men

There is something wonderfully festive about gingerbread men; they’re a perfect snack in between wrapping presents. They are a favourite of children and easy enough to bake, but we all know the best bit is decorating them! Here’s a fun and simple recipe.
 

 

 

DIY Christmas decorations

 

You can buy plain baubles from most arts and crafts shop, cover them in PVA glue and roll it in glitter for a disco bauble! You could thread popcorn and cranberries on a string or opt for a decorative paperchain or sweet-wrapper chain.
