Acknowledgements The HPA would like to thank Wendy Nesbitt for her assistance in revising and adapting the resource Nutrition matters for the early years for use with all childcare providers. The HPA would also like to acknowledge the many individuals and organisations who provided advice and comments during the preparation of both the original and revised publications. The original Nutrition matters for the early years was developed by the HPA in association with an inter-agency group which included health visitors, social workers from the Early Years Teams, oral health professionals, community and paediatric dietitians and childcare providers. In drafting the revised version, further consultation was carried out with the group, as well as with the Northern Ireland Childminding Association, and we would like to thank all of those involved in the development of both versions for their valuable contribution. 40
