🌟It's Salt Awareness Week 2025🌟

🧄This year, we're taking a look at how to add flavour to meals for little ones, without adding salt or salty seasonings

🌟This is important as children really don't need much salt at all, and worryingly, if they have too much it can increase their risk of health issues later on in life

😮We also know that if children are introduced to having salty foods early on, it can shape their eating habits both now and later on in life!

👍You may worry that without the presence of salt, the meals and snacks you offer will lack flavour. However, there are so many ways to add extra flavour to the meals that you prepare!

🧅Take a look at the ingredients that can be used in children's food, such as: different vegetables, citrus fruits, herbs and spices!

👶Don't forget to check out image 5, which explores information on adding herbs and spices to food for babies

🌟Sugar Awareness Week 2024🌟

🌟It's and we're supporting Action on Sugar in asking manufacturers to reduce the sugar in their products

🍩Children and parents are bombarded with sugary foods where ever they go, often with misleading claims, so it's easy for children to get used to the sweet taste of food from a young age, which can influence their future health.

👧With an increasing number of children access childcare, it's essential that settings take steps to offer healthy, balanced and nutritious meals and snacks, and are mindful to reduce the amount of sugar present in the foods they serve

Take a look at our tips to reduce sugar in your early years setting, and some of the key recommendations around choosing:
✅low sugar cereals
✅tooth-friendly snacks
✅nutritious desserts.

⭐Tea recommendations for early years settings⭐

🍽In today’s post we’re sharing recommendations around planning TEA to meet the EBSB guidelines:

✅Each tea should include a main course & dessert each day
✅Provide a starchy food as part of tea each day & be sure to provide at least three different types each week, such as pitta bread, potato, couscous

✅Provide vegetables and/or fruit as part of tea each & be sure to provide a variety across the week, such as pepper sticks, cucumber fingers, mashed banana

✅Provide protein foods as part of tea each day, such as baked bean, chicken, tuna

✅It’s best practice to provide three portions of milk & dairy foods each day, & one of these can be as part of tea, such as grated cheese, yoghurt

✅Provide only fresh tap water & plain milk for children to drink.

Tips:
📝Be clear on what’s included in each dish. For example, instead of ‘vegetable curry’, you could say ‘lentil curry with butternut squash, aubergine, peas & tomatoes, with brown rice’

⭐Mealtimes are a great time to involve children in the preparing, cooking & serving of the food (where appropriate). For example, they can help to chop vegetables, set the table & serve elements of the meal themselves

⭐Talk to families about the timing of tea so that they can plan their child’s routine at home in the evening

We've lots of support to help you meet these guidelines:

➡️Our online Menu Planning training explores topics including how to: develop and review your menus to meet the EBSB guidelines, cater for special dietary requirements, support children at mealtimes & create an encouraging dining environment

➡️Menu Review- have your menu reviewed by our team of expert registered nutritionists, who will provide recommendations & suggestions to help you update your menu to bring it in-line with the guidelines

➡️Blog- Menu Planning FAQ’s & Common Pitfalls

➡️Example menus- to provide tea ideas & menu inspiration.
