Nutrition guidance will be included in the EYFS September 2025, to replace the current guidance. Ofsted have confirmed they will inspect providers in line with the requirements in the EYFS and, if they note concerns around safe or healthy eating, inspectors will aim to find out from settings why they are not using the guidance.
Sarah and Becca have both completed the training webinar about the changes,
EYFS Nutrition Guidance and consequently, we have updated our Food and Nutrition Policy, please just ask to read it.
We also have a Safer Eating Policy in place.
All meals and snacks are prepared under qualification of food safety guidelines.
In February 2025, we achieved the top recognition from The Allergy School for demonstrating our commitment to being food allergy friendly.
Sarah has also achieved a Healthy Early Years Award from North Yorkshire Council in 2023.
This Bronze Award was achieved after the submitting of lots of evidence that at Midget Gems Childcare we offer a balanced diet, moderation, appropriate portion sizes and physical activity.
When Sarah has more free time, she aims to apply for the Silver Award and then the Gold Award !
Sarah & Becca have Food Safety Qualifications.
We actively encourage children to understand the importance of a balanced diet and introduce children to food from around the world.
Examples include, spaghetti bolognaise, chicken and sweetcorn pie, fajitas, corned beef hash, risotto, tortillas, sausage and bean hotpot, Kung fu Panda noodles, shepherds pie, and salmon fishcakes. Fresh fruit is always available and water/milk to drink.
