There's a healthy eating theme to this week's issue of Nursery World. Our project outline looks at vegetables, with lots of great activity ideas for exploring growth and healthy living. And the free colour poster, with images of growing, selling, preparing and eating vegetables, will enhance your topic work. We've also teamed up with children's food company Organix to publish a survey of nursery food provision. We hope that this will turn up some really interesting results in terms of what children are eating at daycare settings and how well-equipped their carers are to know about healthy nutrition. Please fill in the survey and send it off - you will receive a free set of posters on young children's diets and will be entered into a draw to win one of three prizes of a visit from top nutritionist Suzannah Oliver who will come to your setting and advise you on meal planning for the children in your care.

Nurseries offer great opportunities for children to pick up good eating habits and be encouraged by their peers to sample and enjoy a wide range of healthy foods. And they can enjoy learning how to cook too - you and the children can try out our latest recipe on page 17.
