There is no daily recommended amounts for little ones ... yet. I think it is something that will be coming fairly soon!

They need more fats and sugars than older children / adults because they need energy.

This is a bit flashy but might be helpful :D

Well done! I was surprised when I did my nvq how little you needed to put sometimes. It's great when you get a lot of things marked off - you'll be through it in no time! :D
