GreenKiddie — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:18:44 +0000

GreenKiddie launches an online eco-store powered by Amazon. The brand new section will recommend carefully selected natural, organic and eco-friendly products for babies & children as well as for the whole family. The products are split by categories from nursing and feeding equipment to “green” cribs and highchairs.

Promoting the eco-friendly and toxic-free products we love is a great way to continue being helpful source of information for parents who consider natural living and the best care for their children. We believe that providing a “green”, natural care for your baby or toddler is best for your child, and it’s also great for the environment.

The “green” eStore will mainly promote products which are oxic-free, completely safe for babies and children, and have already proved their eco-friendly efforts. There will be a special space for mums and mums-to-be, where everything as pregnancy music for relaxation, books on natural and stress-free birth, organic clothing and fabulous organic cosmetics and beauty products will be featured.

GreenKiddie’s online store is a one-stop space for green products, where parents could find everything they need to raise their children naturally and eco-friendly. The same way GreenKiddie is a trustful online media for parenting advice, the hope is for the eStore to become a number one choice for parents to purchase “green” and toxic-free products for their families.

The payment process is trustful and secure and it’s powered by Amazon.

No Food Regulations in UK Nurseries. Processed food, sugary drinks and biscuits are still on some nursery menus

GreenKiddie — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:16:29 +0000

Foods such as crisps, chips and biscuits are being given to children in small percentage of the UK nurseries, revealed recent research from governing body Ofsted. Junk or processed foods, banned or restricted in schools, still appear on nursery some menus. A parallel survey indicated that some nurseries in England and Wales are serving processed foods, sugary drinks and foods high in additives, salt and fat.

According to England’s Department for Children, Schools and Families, it is a legal requirement in all childcare settings, including childminders, nurseries and day care, that where children are provided with meals, snacks or drinks, these must be healthy, balanced and nutritious.

But what happens in practice? – A small per cent of UK nurseries were found to be spending as little as 25p a day. Oil-rich fish such as salmon, or sardines were only served in 8% of them.

Parents expect the food their children eat at nursery to meet regulatory and nutritional guidelines, and not to include additives unsuitable for young children. But one fifth of the parents, taking part in a recent survey, described the food at their nursery as poor or mediocre.

Organic foods are more nutritious, and they contain higher levels of vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and iron as well as antioxidants important for skin, cancer-fight and overall health. Cooking with organic ingredients is the only way to reduce the chemicals your baby or toddler is exposed to.
