Nurseries urged to register for Healthy Eating Week

Nutrition Health
The fifth annual Healthy Eating Week, organised by the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF), will take place from 12–16 June 2017.

More than 7,900 nurseries and schools have already registered to take part in this year’s event, representing 3.7 million children.

Registration is free for all, and participants will benefit from a variety of resources – all designed to boost the understanding of healthy eating.

The theme for Healthy Eating Week this year is ‘applied learning’. The idea is to encourage school children to take ownership of their own health by becoming their school’s ‘Ambassadors’ for the week and motivating their peers.

To support the week of activities, all participants will receive a board game, posters, and activity ideas, and a series of daily challenges. This year’s challenges include: Have breakfast, 5 A DAY, drink plenty, get active and try something new. There will also be health webinars and online cooking activities.
