Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the voluntary guidelines for food in early-years settings highlighted in the Childhood Obesity Plan will be published.
Example menus and guidance have been developed as part of the delivery of the Childhood Obesity Plan to support early year’s settings in England. This is to provide meals and snacks in line with current government dietary recommendations for infants and children aged six months to four years. The government will publish the menus and guidance in due course. Separate Voluntary Food and Drink Guidelines are already available for early years settings to help them meet the nutritional needs of children aged one to five.
