Frequently asked questions
Nutrition in child care refers to the planning and provision of balanced meals and snacks that support children's growth, health, and energy needs. It includes understanding dietary requirements, promoting healthy eating habits, and ensuring food safety in early years settings.
Nutrition fuels physical growth, brain development, and emotional wellbeing. Adequate intake of key nutrients like iron, calcium, and omega-3s helps children build strong bodies, concentrate better, and regulate mood.
Nurseries play a vital role in shaping children's eating habits and ensuring they receive essential nutrients during a critical growth phase. Good nutrition supports learning, behaviour, immunity, and reduces the risk of long-term health issues.
Common issues include iron deficiency anaemia, vitamin D deficiency, poor appetite, and food refusal. These can lead to stunted growth, fatigue, and delayed cognitive or emotional development.
Children with balanced diets tend to grow steadily, stay alert, and develop strong immune systems. Poor nutrition can result in developmental delays, behavioural challenges, and increased vulnerability to illness.
Child nutrition is the science and practice of providing children with the right balance of nutrients to support healthy growth, development, and long-term wellbeing. It includes macronutrients (carbs, proteins, fats) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) tailored to age and activity level.
