Never posted a link before so not sure if this has worked!
What are your thoughts?

So where can we find a copy of these guidelines then?
Be interesting to see them

Think this is it :)

Is this just going to be on a website or do you think we will be able to get a hard copy? Don't really like reading loads of gunff on the computer :laughing:

You can download it, but the hard copy costs £12 by the looks of it. I prefer a hard copy too, but not paying out that, will print out the pages that I want to refer back to

I had a quick look through but didn't see any actual recipes. It all just seems to be guidelines and I think I would struggle to find enough time to really work through all of it. :(

They could cut that right down by saying, cook whole foods!

If you can't tell by looking at a food stuff what actual food it is made from, then leave it alone. If you can't pronounce the ingredients, then leave it alone. If it has more than around 6 ingredients, then leave it alone.

So much bibble babble makes healthy, balanced eating look difficult. It's not.

Nationally recognised is it? first time i've ever heard of the organisation to be honest - bookmarked to read later, thanks for the heads up x

All that looks really complicated and confusing!

go to the link posted first then-

if you go to related internet links then go down a bit for 'more in this section' , then the bit for early years providers and practitioners - still with me? there is a bit for menus and recipes for early years settings :)

TBH I will carry on as usual as I consider the food I give mindee to be healthy/ good quality and varied :thumbsup:
