Did you know Briary Pre-School was awarded the NHS Food Champion Accreditation in July 2019? 

Did you know all of our staff preparing and serving food hold an current Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate?

​

As a Pre-School, to promote healthier eating and a good balanced diet. As a setting, we now follow ideas from the Food Champion workshop. 

​

Nicola Wheeler (Deputy Manager) completed intense training with the NHS Food Champion Team, which was then cascaded. Nicola is our Food Champion  Advocate and our certificate is re-issued each year.

​

As a Pre-School we promote the following: 

• Healthy recipes  and lunch box ideas

• Ideas for fussy eaters

• Appropriate portion sizes 

 

As part of our accreditation we promote: 

• Healthy eating ideas for parents and carers

• Helping parents and carers with new recipe ideas

• Educating parents and carers the sugar and salt contents in different products and hidden amounts

• Helping parents and carers with children who are fussy eaters by giving them ideas and new techniques

• Educating parents and carers with the portion sizes for 2 to 4 year olds using the NHS eat well guide

• Weaning and eat well advice and help for parents and carers with children from 6 months +

 

Within the Pre-School children learn about healthy eating;

• Talking to the children regularly about healthy food using the eat well plate and guide, there are no 'Good' or 'Bad' foods

• Support Children to make own healthy lunches and try new foods

• Teach Children to grow their own fruit and vegetables in our growing garden with their own key group

• Providing a healthy eating snack time daily communicating by talking and BSL signing about the healthy food we are eating
