a happy and comfortable day

In this section
Birthday parties are a very exciting time for children, and the staff at RCK enjoy sharing these events with children and their families, and would like to continue to do so. However, in keeping in line with accreditation principles, the food safety plan and promoting healthy eating habits while at creche, we ask that parents follow the outlined guidelines below.
Birthday cakes
Please keep them simple! RCK encourages carrot and banana cakes, or small cup cakes. We do not recommend mud cakes and cakes that contain fresh cream or nuts as these exclude children with allergies and can be extremely dangerous to these children. Cakes that contain fresh cream also breeches the food safety program.
Lolly bags
Please, no lolly bags as again they are high in sugar and may contain lollies that are inappropriate for some children. This also creates legal responsibilities as staff are required to check each lolly bag to ensure that they are age appropriate.
Cameras
Please bring these along as staff are more than happy to capture your child's special day with their friends at Creche
