“Taste for Life” Partnering with GreenKiddie

July 27, 2010

Nursery children are being invited on a healthy food adventure with the launch of Taste for Life, a new pre-school education programme, supported by Organix and launched in nurseries in July 2010 across the UK. The Taste For Life programme forms part of a wider campaign (Better Nursery Food Now) led by Organix and the Soil Association calling for genuine nutritional standards in nurseries.

Close2Nature initiative (run by GreenKiddie) is now proudly partnering with the Taste for Life programme. “This is a new fun and interactive way of introducing and presenting fruit and vegetables to children, in a completely different context to that of mealtimes, helping them to explore and enjoy good food from a young age and develop healthier eating habits for life”, explains the educational website of the initiative.

Please have a look at the top tips for parents and nursery practitioners from Taste for Life here. You can also download some interactive fruit & vegetable activities, as well as a fun Reward Chart.

Close2Nature is a national campaign run by GreenKiddie which promotes better children’s health and well-being at nurseries. It aims to provide easy-to-use tips and advice for daycare providers and help them adopt our eco-friendly strategy for their premises in order to help with improving children’s health. Close2Nature campaign is also in partnership with Change4Life initiative by the Department of Health.
