Description
This template provides a clear framework for developing a Nutrition and Mealtimes Policy within early years settings in England. It is designed to support providers in meeting statutory requirements and best practice guidance by promoting healthy, balanced diets and positive mealtime experiences for children. By using this template, providers can ensure consistency in their approach, demonstrate their commitment to children’s health and well-being and tailor the policy to reflect their individual setting, routines and the needs of the families they serve.
The nutrition and mealtimes policy template sets out the nursery’s approach to promoting healthy eating. It covers the kind of mealtime environment that you would like in the nursery. It sets out the nursery’s approach to baby feeding and weaning, allergies and food brought from home.
