Find the week's published menu on your dashboard and in your child's daily diary.
Parents whose childminder plans meals in KinderStart. You'll need the parent app (see
Getting started as a parent). It takes a minute.
When your childminder publishes the week's menu, you can see every meal, day by day, in your app.
On your home screen, tap This Week's Menu. You'll see each day's meals, like breakfast, snacks, lunch and tea, with photos where your childminder has added them. You can also open Weekly Menu from the menu at the top left.
Open Daily Diary from the menu and choose your child. Tap This week's menu at the top of their day.
Your childminder can attach the menu to a noticeboard post. Tap the menu card on the post to open it.
The menu only appears once your childminder publishes it. If they change a meal after publishing, you'll see the change.
Knowing what's for lunch helps you plan tea at home, spot anything that doesn't suit your child, and talk to them about their day.
