Learning Tree Nursery 2, Creative Hands Childcare,  Serendipitys Day Nursery in Newark, and Kidzgrove Daycare have already started contributing to the three-year national Childhood Obesity Trailblazer project, which was rolled out in September. The remaining three nurseries have yet to be named.

Food for Life, the charity that supports schools and early years settings to promote healthy food, will be working with the nurseries to help reconnect children with where their food comes from. The team will also review menus and improve the nutritional quality of meals and support cooks to serve fresh, local meals to the children in their care.
