More about Panorama: What's Really in Our Kids' Food?

Annotations:

As a charity and social enterprise the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) runs 19 community nurseries in poor areas of London, we have always been focused on good home cooked seasonal food as it sustains children's development. We decided to take action having become increasingly dismayed at the dissemination of sometimes poor and oft times confusing information as well as being inspected by people who are not overly confident about children's nutritional needs. Many adults wanted children eating foods imbalanced in fat and carbohydrates, a risk I was worried about given the nature of many of the home lives the children experienced. As a result we have started to write the national qualifications for chefs working in the Early Years as we believe that it has to start very young. It has led to a great interest from across the sector as nurseries genuinely want to get it right for children and good quality settings take a pride in their food. At LEYF we serve fish! Twice a week, organic milk because of the link with higher omega three and we now procure our food from a farm in Kent so it is Fresher by Miles. We have upgraded our training and hope that the progress we make will make a significant difference to all children attending nursery. It certainly has raised awareness of the role of the chef and children plan menus with chefs now and its surprisingly positive what they choose to eat. Not a trace of a chicken nugget.
