Promoting positive nutrition and physical activity in your setting

Your nursery can demonstrate to parents it is gold standard in promoting children’s physical activity and nutrition in two ways with NDNA

According to NHS data, one in five children is overweight or obese by the age of five, just 27% of children regularly play outside their homes (OnePoll 2022) and 26% of people have concerns about being able to afford enough fruit and vegetables to ensure their family eats well (British Nutrition Foundation, June 2023).

NDNA can support you to focus on physical activity and nutrition in your nursery in two different ways:

  • The practitioner-champion route: PANCo training
  • The setting-wide approach: Start Life Well
