Overview

Tackling childhood obesity is a major priority for local authorities and health organisations, with recent reports identifying that more than one in five children are overweight or obese when they enter reception year. There is a growing spotlight on early years providers to demonstrate their healthy eating environment - both in terms of food provision and food education. This book is a bank of fun healthy eating activities that can also be used to meet the Early Learning Goals. It provides advice and ideas for healthy eating activities, and is also linked to meeting the EYFS welfare requirement for ‘healthy, balanced and nutritious’ food and drink. The national guidance on healthy eating in early years settings is highly detailed and technical. Whilst this is a valuable resource, time-poor Early Years Practitioners have a need for this material to be translated into the popular and accessible Little Book format.
