FAQ

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions

Yes, the Early Childhood Cook’s Diary includes a yearly audit and maintenance checklist so you can make sure your kitchen is compliant.

We’ve received feedback that services have seen the benefit with their cooks and are using the Diary to help train new cooks.

"We will be relying fairly heavily on the Chef's Diary for the new centre because they likely won't have experience with children and in a childcare setting. Our plan is that then that should help them to become accustomed with how everything should be."

Using the Early Childhood Cook Diary helps keep kitchens organised and helps promote safe food handling. Consistency is bred through a day to a page layout that covers key compliance areas. The daily menu can be used to plan healthy, complete nutritious menus for children every day.

With so many important considerations of religion, special occasions and food intolerances and allergies, this Diary helps cooks and chefs stay on top of everything.

Plan ahead and add any notes, like use by dates, special occasions, or maintenance dates to ensure nothing is missed.

"Each diary that we use is laid out in such a way that ALL compliance and record keeping is there - it simply needs to be filled out - each individual diary ticks all the compliance boxes - all the educators have to do is fill them out - it is really simple and easy to understand - This ensures everything is easy to find and on show for spot checks etc. Also no need to go back and fill in missing gaps as everything is there."

Common feedback that we hear is that our Diaries keep everything is one place. With the pressure of Assessment and Rating and so much paperwork, it can make staying organised difficult. We reduce compliance confusion and support you in keeping everything together - particularly handy now with reduced time notices before A&R now in effect.
