Nursery World - Pre-school Learning Alliance launches nutrition partnership

Childcare workers are being offered a hands-on early years nutrition service following the launch of a new social enterprise.

Settings can sign up for membership of the The Early Years Nutrition Partnership, which offers advice and training.

The aim is to set a national standard for early years nutrition in the context of growing obesity and poor eating habits in children.

The initiative, a collaboration between the Pre-school Learning Alliance (PLA) the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF), and Danone Nutricia Early Life Nutrition, the global food company’s pregnancy and early years range, is also offering a quality mark and level 3 training in nutrition and hydration.

The EYN Partnership Quality Mark, available to all subscribed settings, will have grades ranging from accredited to specialist – an accolade reserved for the most innovative.
