Louise White asks - whose responsibility is a child's nutritional health? Parents? Childcare providers? A bit of both?

Setting the Table, a revised nutritional guidance and food standards for early years childcare providers in Scotland has been launched by NHS Health Scotland. The guidance has been developed to help 'Early Years' childcare providers meet the 'Scottish Government National Care Standards: Early Education and Childcare up to the age of 16 (2009)'.

It also highlights the importance of nutrition in the early years and the role that childcare providers have in shaping both current and future eating patterns in young children. Childcare providers, including local authority and private nurseries, family centres, child minders and caterers, who provide food and drinks for children under the age of five years will be responsible for implementing the guidance. It will also be a useful resource for parents and foster carers to help them understand what to expect from their childcare provider and for parents who provide food for their child when they are being cared for.
