THE PROBLEM:

There are no clear nutritional standards covering our children's nurseries.

Home image of child eating

Over 600,000 children in England and Wales go to nursery. Many of them are given the majority of their daily food by the nursery.

Parents expect the food their children eat at nursery to be healthy and nutritious. After all, the younger the child, the more vulnerable their health is to poor quality food.

However, it may surprise you to learn that currently there is:

  • No compulsory training for nursery staff serving food
  • No clear nutritional standards
  • No agency to monitor the quality of food provided
  • No Government department giving a lead or promoting good practice
  • No Government funding available to help nurseries improve provision

We think this is unacceptable and we want changes to be made urgently. We are calling on the Government to put in place nutritional standards that will cover all nurseries, guaranteeing better food in nurseries now.
