Nursery World - Menus to be brought in for early years settings

New food guidelines for nurseries and childminders are due to be published by the Government.

The 'scalable menus' for different settings have been drawn up by Public Health England (PHE), the Department for Education (DfE) and the Children’s Food Trust.

Speaking at the Westminster Food & Nutrition forum Keynote Seminar on food in schools and early years settings yesterday (29 June) Rachel Manners, nutrition advice team leader from the diet and obesity team at Public Health England, said, 'We've been working alongside the Children's Food Trust and Department for Education around developing early years menus, which are due to be published.

'Part of PHE’s role will be to help raise awareness among practitioners and parents, as well as support the implementation of the menus in settings, working with providers to see how the menus can be incorporated.'
