Nutrition Matters for the Early Years Training

Posted on by

What children eat now will affect their current and future health and wellbeing – let’s help them get off to the best start by providing healthy and nutritious meals when in the child care setting!

Nutrition Matters for the early years training gives childminders, nursery and crèche staff/volunteers and foster carers the knowledge and skills to plan nutritious meals, snacks and drinks for children aged 0-5 years.  You’ll also get tips and ideas on how to support fussy eaters.

This 2 hour online training is FREE and delivered by experienced Public Health Dietitians and Registered Nutritionists.  It is funded by the Public Health Agency.

Visit the Child Care Partnership website to book your place on one of our monthly training courses: Childcare Partnerships Training & Quality (hscni.net)
