The School Food Trust is leading the development of the national voluntary guidelines for food and drink in early years settings. This follows recommendations by the Advisory Panel on Food and Nutrition in the Early Years and the Tickell review of the EYFS.
What will the guidelines include?
They are based on recommendations made by the Advisory Panel on Food and Nutrition in the Early Years. They will give clear, practical advice on how to provide healthy, balanced and nutritious food and drink by specifying the type, amount and frequency of foods that could be served. The guidelines are based on four food groups: starchy foods, such as bread, cereal, pasta and rice; fruit and vegetables; milk and dairy; and meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-dairy sources of protein.
