3: SUMMARY<br />

The aim of this pack is to provide guidelines on good nutrition <strong>and</strong> oral health<br />

to agencies, staff, parents <strong>and</strong> carers of young children. As a health promoting<br />

establishment, you will already be incorporating healthy lifestyle messages into<br />

your daily activities. It is intended that this pack will complement existing work<br />

<strong>and</strong> provide assistance in building this further. The information is presented in<br />

a format that can easily be shared with parents.<br />

There are two key elements to this pack <strong>and</strong> supporting materials:<br />

1:The pack itself as guidance <strong>and</strong> a factual resource<br />

• The pack contains a range of information including nutritional requirements<br />

of children under five years, food safety <strong>and</strong> hygiene, oral health, ideas for<br />

snacks <strong>and</strong> special occasions.<br />

• The pack provides a basis for the development of nutrition <strong>and</strong> oral health<br />

policies within your own establishment.<br />

2:Topic sacks<br />

• Topic sacks have been developed to support this pack <strong>and</strong> encourage<br />

children’s learning about food, nutrition <strong>and</strong> oral health through play <strong>and</strong><br />

the everyday activities that take place in a nursery.<br />
