Toddlers (2+)
Toddlers (2+) is built for parents who want calmer mealtimes, fewer last minute scrambles, and meals that work for the whole household.
If you’d like to see how this fits into a full weekly plan, read our guide to weekly meal planning for UK families.
Why we created it
Toddler feeding is one of the fastest ways for cooking confidence to collapse. You're trying to balance nutrition, routine, mood, and time, often while someone refuses the plate. This category exists to reduce that stress with meals designed around family sharing and predictable results.
Most of us in the UK are stuck in the same pattern: the same dinners on repeat, a big food shop that costs a fortune, and food quietly going off in the fridge. We’re paying more than we need to, then throwing too much of it away. Juna is built to change that, with planned variety and a weekly, shop-aligned plan so you spend less and use more.
UK child healthy eating resources highlight practical priorities like sensible salt and sugar habits and balanced meals for young children. We use that guidance to shape the style of recipes in this category.
