Nippers Nutrition
A Study into the nutritional quality of meals provided to children under 5 in nurseries.
During
March 2007 - April 2008 Sarah Almond was commissioned by East Sussex
Trading Standards to participate on a project looking at the
nutritional content of food provided to toddlers in
childcare. The
project came about as a result of the work already completed nationally on healthy eating in schools which
prompted the concept of investigating in younger childcare settings,
as this is where, for some children eating habits (good and
bad) are formed.
