  1. Nutrition and Health in Childcare

  2. Proper nutrition and physical activity are crucial for a child’s growth, development, and overall well-being. Our childcare in South Surreyplays a vital role in fostering healthy habits from an early age. Childcare Surrey’s dedicated team is committed to providing a supportive environment that promotes healthy eating habits and physical activity.

  3. Promote Balanced and Nutritious Meals Childcare centers should prioritize offering well-balanced meals and snacks that incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. This not only provides essential nutrients but also helps establish positive eating patterns.

  4. Encourage Hydration Make sure children have access to clean drinking water throughout the day. Proper hydration supports cognitive function, prevents fatigue, and improves overall health.

  5. Create Opportunities for Physical Activity Incorporate structured and unstructured physical activities into the daily routine. This can include outdoor playtime, movement-based games, and age-appropriate exercises that promote cardiovascular health, strength, and coordination.

  6. Involve Families and Caregivers Foster open communication with families and caregivers to align nutrition and physical activity practices between the childcare center and the home environment. Share resources, tips, and strategies to reinforce healthy habits.

  7. Lead by Example Childcare staff should model healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle. Children learn best through observation and positive role models, making it crucial for caregivers to demonstrate the behaviours they want to instill.
