Food ...

There have been big ructions recently about the food some nurseries are serving children.

Some of them are still serving food which is now banned in schools!:eek:

The following website gives more information and there is a petition to sign if you want to join the campaign for more govt guidance on nutrition for the pre-schoolers...

The campaign is being run by Organix -

Perhaps we would be better off campaigning for parents to choose childminders before nurseries, so that they get decent food! :rolleyes:

I saw that some of them are spending just a few pennies on each meal:eek: . And many of them are the bung in the oven nuggets and chips type things. Really bad.

Sorry that this is slightly off subject but was just wondering if anybody has been told to check the food temp? In the creche where I work we need to check the temp with a temperature probe and record all the details eg date, type of food, length of time cooked, temp etc. x
