Starting Early: Food and Nutrition Education of young Children
This OFSTED publication describes research into the health
and wellbeing of schoolchildren showing that there are significant
concerns about their current and future health, in particular
the increase in obesity and related conditions. In the autumn
term 2003 and the spring term 2004, Ofsted and the Food Standards
Agency visited schools and nurseries, focusing on:
- Evaluating
the appropriateness and quality of the work with food
that the children undertake
- Assessing the extent to which the
environment in which the children work and eat is supportive
of promoting
good health and nutrition
- Identifying the factors that support
or impede food and nutrition education
