Public
Health England has released guidelines for packed lunches for Early Years
Settings.
Please
refer to the following website for further information (A paper copy is
available at Pre-school).
Public
Health England exists to protect and improve the nation’s health and wellbeing,
and reduce health inequalities.
Children’s
food preferences and eating habits are formed early in life with consequences
for a range of health and development outcomes in later life. It is therefore
important that the food offered in early years settings provides appropriate
amounts of energy and nutrients and encourages the development of healthy
eating habits in young children, both to support appropriate growth and
development, and as part of national priorities to reduce childhood obesity and
ensure every child has the best start in life.
