early years providers to help them develop and maintain a culture of
healthy eating and nutrition in their settings.
Launching next year, the three-year project is a joint venture between the Pre-School Learning Alliance, the British Nutrition Foundation and the Danone Ecosystem Fund, which is providing funding for the first year.
Under the pilot project, networks of nutritionists will be created across the country to provide ongoing nutritional support and guidance to early years practitioners and chefs.
The aim of the networks is to provide nurseries, childminders and schools operating childcare provision with the tools they need to support children and their parents to understand the importance of nutrition.
Settings that take up the support will also have the opportunity to gain an endorsed nutrition quality mark.
