Podcast: Just the Start: Nutrition in Early Years Settings | Early Years Series
        
          
             
Kicking off our Early Years series on the Podcast, we have a main episode, diving right into the heart of nutrition for the youngest children with a focus on Early Years settings.
Hannah Brinsden, Head of Policy and Advocacy at The Food Foundation is joined by a panel of experts for a deep dive into early years nutrition: Neil Leitch, CEO of the Early Years Alliance, and also a Food Foundation trustee, Sarah Ambrose, Area Manager and Curriculum Lead for Safari Child Care, Dayna Brackley, Partner at Bremner and Co, and Charlotte Stirling-Reed, registered nutritionist.
Early years nutrition is essential to life long-health and wellbeing, giving children the best start in life. Over a million children are attending some form of formal childcare setting, so what and how they are fed in those settings is really important. Read our latest report on early years nutrition policy here.
