Nutrition

Awareness of healthy food can encourage children to be interested in nutrition. Children might ask questions about vitamins and minerals and which foods are nutritious. They may feel pride when they recognise and eat healthy foods.

UNCRC

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children have the right to nutritious food (article 24).

NQS

Nutrition aligns with the National Quality Standard: Healthy eating is promoted and appropriate for each child (2.1.3).
