GreenKiddie supports the campaign and calls on nurseries and government to action http://blog.greenkiddie.co.uk/better-nursery-food-campaign/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed http://blog.greenkiddie.co.uk/better-nursery-food-campaign/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:08:09 +0000 GreenKiddie http://blog.greenkiddie.co.uk/?p=318 The Better Nursery Food Now Campaign, which calls on the Government to implement nutritional standards for nursery school food, has now launched a Facebook campaign to spread the word and engage mums and dads in supporting. The campaign is being run and promoted by The Soil Association and Organix, the baby and toddler food company.11563_223259306250_222751501250_4608891_6829544_n

The Better Nursery Food Campaign aims to increase the pressure on Government by highlighting examples of nurseries where parents are dissatisfied with the nutritional standards of nursery food. Whether it’s a nursery serving junk food, or food with artificial additives and e-numbers, or poor food generally, we are asking parents and nursery workers to post their experiences on the Facebook page and sign the petition to take to government.

The experiences from mums and dads will enable the Better Nursery Food Now campaigns team to step up the pressure on Government to put in place nutritional standards that will cover all nurseries, guaranteeing better food in nurseries.

BNFoodJust to remind you that, according to the report Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie – exposing the truth about nursery food:

  • There are no clear nutritional standards for UK nurseries.
  • Some nurseries spend as little as 25p per meal, per child.
  • Colourings and additives, not allowed in manufactured foods for children, were regularly being permitted in nurseries.
  • Foods banned or restricted in primary and secondary schools – like chips, sweets and chocolate – are still regularly served in nurseries.
  • No Government Department was willing to take responsibility for the quality and monitoring of nursery food.

BNFood2BBC 1 Panorama programme on Monday 25 January at 8.30pm will be investigating “What Is Really In Our Kid’s Food”. The programme has discovered that one in five children starts school already overweight and, according to the latest research, children who are fat by five are likely to stay that way. Shelley Jofre investigates the food being dished up to pre-schoolers at nurseries and at home. There’s a rapidly growing market in ready meals specifically for toddlers, but are they really a healthy option? The programme looks behind the marketing claims
