We at HENRY (Health, Exercise, Nutrition for the Really Young) are excited to announce that we are offering
free training to all childminders and Early Years settings (including day nurseries, pre-schools and Foundation Stage classes) in Bradford. We are working together with Public Health and Better Start Bradford to tackle and prevent childhood
obesity.
This training, A Healthy Start in Childcare, accredited by the RSPH, enables staff to:
- Develop their knowledge about healthy meals, snacks and portion sizes
for young children in line with current Public Health, NICE and WHO guidelines
- Increase staff confidence in providing an environment that will promote healthy eating behaviour and making good choices
- Understand the value of active play
- Adopt a consistent approach around nutrition and activity across all our settings throughout Bradford District
- Model a healthy lifestyle to children in their care
- Manage behaviour and build self-esteem, so that children start school emotionally prepared and ready to learn
