The Key to Goodness is a boutique, Sydney based food service specialising in fresh, nutritionally-balanced childcare meals. Our company was created with children and families at the forefront of our mind. It is vital for children to enjoy a well-balanced, nutrient-filled diet for their overall health, growth and development. 

Our menu has been designed to perfectly meet heath standards and regulations whilst introducing children to different cuisines, flavours and textures to develop a healthy relationship with food. We base our menu planning on three key national health documents; The Australian Dietary Guidelines, The Infant Feeding Guidelines and Munch and Move.

Here at The Key to Goodness, we believe food should not only be nutritious, it should also help to meet the social, cultural and educational needs of the children.
