Solution 1
As explained by (Australian Government, 2011), there are some important factors and
things which one needs to consider while planning a cycle menu which will be displayed for
the info of staff, parents as well as older children as follows:
 Always follow the different seasons as vegetables and fruits are often expensive when
they are out of season hence by using frozen, dried and tinned vegetables and fruits
money must be saved. Besides, the vitamin contents in the stored vegetables are the
same as fresh products.
 While planning a cycle menu, one must include food from diverse cultures,
particularly those cultures which are represented within their local community
 Consider recipes and menus which are ahead of time
 Always consider the personal food preferences of the people (Balabanova, Mckee,
Mills, Walt, & Haines, 2010).

Practicing high standards of food safety while handling and preparation of food for
young children are significant for the following reasons:
 As harmful bacteria and germs can be spread easily through people's hands
within work surfaces, food and equipment hence food must be prepared safely.
 It is very important to wash food items and eatables thoroughly with warm water for
ensuring high standards of food safety for children
 In addition, bacteria, viruses, and parasites can contaminate both cooked and raw food
products thus before handling food hands must be washed with soap and warm water.
