Nutrition for the next generation! This practical and theoretical training uses
innovative methods for successful early years nutrition engagement. Creating a healthy, vibrant food culture is an essential step in the journey to wellbeing – and starting early is a great place to begin!
The focus is on building confidence and encourages autonomy and ownership of an informed and healthy approach to nutrition and well-being. Squash draw on their well-established and strong links with partner organisations and creative professionals in the delivery of training, enabling them to provide lively, diverse, current and informative guidance.
