Supporting Children and Families on the Mornington Peninsula

Food Play Grow, a branch of Family Dietetics, is proudly based on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula and dedicated to helping children and families achieve their nutrition, feeding, and developmental goals.

We provide a nurturing and positive environment that encourages self-confidence, curiosity, and growth through enjoyable, hands-on food experiences.
Our programs and therapy sessions are designed to make learning about food fun, reduce mealtime stress, and support healthy relationships with eating.

At Food Play Grow, we:

  • Offer feeding therapy, sensory food play, and nutrition support tailored to each child
     
  • Encourage exploration and self-feeding skills in a calm, supportive setting
     
  • Collaborate with parents and caregivers to build confidence and practical strategies for home
     
  • Regularly review and evaluate progress to ensure every child continues to thrive
     

Our goal is to create positive experiences around food, supporting children to grow, learn, and enjoy mealtimes again.
