Issues covered in the courses include fussy eating, behaviour and best practice at meal times.
In addition to the core course material, the Trust will provide seasonal updates to content as well as responses to relevant Government announcements or initiatives. The autumn programme will include webcasts from former nursery chef and Masterchef semi-finalist Sophie Atkins-Ward.
Dr Patricia Mucavele, research and nutrition senior manager at the Children’s Food Trust, said, ‘We’re really excited about these courses because they make it so easy for early years teams to access good training on food and nutrition. Online learning is particularly important for childminders – this format means they can access training at a time and place that suits them.’
