The Soil Association and Organix are to be congratulated on their new report, 'Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie - Exposing the Truth about Nursery Food', which reveals the shockingly low quality of food in some early years settings (see 'Food for thought', pages 14-15, and News, pages 4-5).

Of course, some early years settings are doing a wonderful job of providing highly nutritious, home-cooked meals for the young children in their care - Childsplay Claremont Nursery Co-operative in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for example, who won last year's Nursery Food Awards, and many others that we know of around the country.
