Good nutrition promotes children’s physical and mental well-being and health and maintains vitality during the day at the day-care centre. Catering service must ensure adequate and well-balanced meals and snacks during the day at school or day-care. At the same time, it is possible to steer the development of children’s eating habits towards a well-balanced diet. Children are encouraged to try new kinds of ingredients and to taste different kinds of food. Regular meals and snacks promote a child’s sense of security and play a big part in creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Growing children and young people need high-quality nutrition at regular intervals of a few hours. In addition to the two main meals of the day, several smaller but well-balanced snacks are necessary. The role of snacks is important. A good snack is of the right size. It is not a substitute for lunch at school but it helps to carry on with studies or hobbies until the following meal. A snack should be based on whole-grain products, vegetables, root vegetables, fruit, berries as well as low-fat milk and meat products.
Day-care centres
The meals served at day-care centres complement dining at home, and they cover one part of the diner’s daily need for nutrition in accordance with recommendations. Good nutrition promotes children’s physical and mental well-being as well as health and maintains vitality during the day at the day-care centre. We pay special attention to fulfilling children’s nutritional recommendations as well as maintaining a high level of hygiene.
