Best Practice Guidance: Food and Nutrition for Childcare Settings

This Food and Nutrition for Childcare Settings Best Practice Guidance from Welsh Government was produced to help settings support children to eat well, provide excellent quality food to meet the childcare regulations for food and drink, and also be able to share with parents that they are offering the best start for their children.

This is a practical and user friendly resource that has accompanying example menus and recipes. It is part the Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales strategy which will aim to support positive dietary behaviour within the crucial early years.

How can we help?

The Community Food and Nutrition Skills for the Early Years course, the Gold Standard Healthy Snack Award and Tiny Tums Best Practice Certificate all align to this document, reflect the guidance in practice and support its implementation.
