H.E.Y. (Healthy Early Years)

We are pleased to announce that we have been accepted into the new Healthy Early Years programme being run by the council as an extension to the QUILT scheme!

The module that will start in January covers:

• Overview of the nutritional standards and guidance for childcare settings
• The specific dietary needs for the under-5’s and how to apply them to practice
• The food groups, menu planning and achieving the Healthy Choice Award to help you apply the nutritional guidance in your settings
• Creating a healthy environment and healthy eating habits in children
• Allergies and dietary requirements
• What a food and nutrition policy should include and how to implement it

We will let you know more at the Parents Day later this month and further updates on the blog!
If you want to know more in the meantime please feel free to ask Zoe or Maryann
