Plan the week. Record what was served.
A practical kitchen operations resource for early learning chefs and cooks.
The Weekly Kitchen Journal is a working tool for organising the kitchen week. It brings weekly planning, daily preparation reminders, ordering and food records into one place—giving the cook somewhere to keep the details that support the day-to-day running of the kitchen.
Use it as the weekly working hub within your centre’s kitchen folder or operations binder, alongside your menus, current recipes and dietary instructions. Keep it close at hand to note expected children, plan seasonal sides and Sensory Sparks, organise preparation, record menu changes and keep track of suppliers, order deadlines and deliveries.
Space for priorities, special events and handover notes helps useful kitchen knowledge carry forward: what worked, quantities to remember and what the next cook needs to know. The journal also makes the kitchen’s routines and decisions visible to centre leaders and provides a practical reference for relieving cooks.
A dedicated ingredients record captures what actually went into each meal and snack, including dietary alternatives and changes made on the day—not simply what appeared on the planned menu. This records food prepared and offered, rather than what an individual child ate.
Print a fresh journal each week, keep the current copy easy to find, and file completed journals in date order to build a practical record of your kitchen’s work over time.
Your download includes:
A4 journal: a four-page version for double-sided printing.
A3 booklet: the same journal arranged for double-sided printing and folding into a four-page booklet.
User guide: practical instructions for planning, recording ingredients, printing and filing.
Printable PDF resource. No physical product is supplied. Save a clean master and print a fresh journal each week.
One purchase covers ongoing use within one early learning centre. Print fresh copies as needed for your team. Please purchase a separate copy for each additional centre.
Centre personalisation
The journal is ready to print and complete by hand. Adding your centre’s logo is optional. For a personalised master with your centre name and logo added, please enquire by email.
