There has been a change in EYFS framework in the form of a new addition to the welfare requirements where settings are now required to promote the “good oral health of children”.
The advice of this guidance is, to be fair a little vague and very much left open to interpretation, good oral health doesn't just mean brushing teeth and regular visits to the dentist.
Early nutritional influences are incredibly important for every aspect of childhood development and it is at this time in our lives when we lay down many of our habits, actions, behaviours, even addictions which can shape our adult health.
In this course we will look at the nutritional influences that support good dental health, it isn’t just about calcium, we’ll go a little deeper.
There will be some practical advice on types of foods that should (and perhaps should not) be included for good oral health.
As with every element of early years nutrition – shaping these early habits has a big influence on a child’s lifelong relationship with food and forms part of their health journey, you can be a vital part of this journey and help to shape the health of a generation.

I feel the best way to help to shape the health of the next generation is via education. Education enables empowerment. Food doesn’t just fill us up it shapes our every movement, action and emotion. Understanding all of this (at a basic level) is the key to being as in control as you can be of your own health journey.
