Abstract
The objective of these guidelines is to provide ECD practitioners and caregivers information on how to plan, prepare and serve appropriate, nutritious, adequate and safe foods to children in their care. This includes understanding and implementing information on healthy eating for babies and children; preparing and serving nutritious food according to the menu; child health services; Personal and environmental hygiene and food safety. The guidelines also provide information to raise awareness of the importance of good nutrition in the early years and suggest ways that this information can be communicated to parents and other caregivers [p.2]
