Exploring and Growing Fresh Produce in an Early Years Setting (for Nursery Schools and Schools With a Nursery or Preschool Class)
October 1 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am BST
Free
Stronger Practice Hub Event
This session is for Early Years settings of all sizes who would like to improve their understanding of food, in particular vegetables, herbs, spices and fruits. The session is led by Jo Ingleby, the Director of The Children’s Kitchen, a Feeding Bristol project focused on encouraging young children and families to explore, cook and grow fresh produce. The project focuses on the areas of Bristol with the highest levels of food insecurity. Settings working with The Children’s Kitchen are encouraged to move away from traditional baking on cakes and towards child-led food sessions led by curiosity and creativity.
The session will cover:
- Setting up and running food sessions in your setting; the basics of what equipment you need and practical tips for exploring fresh food.
- Creating growing spaces on a budget with a term-based growing plan.
- Linking plot to plate, with simple food and growing session ideas.
- Developing a whole-setting approach to food.
This session is suitable for Maintained Nursery Schools, PVI settings and schools with a Nursery or Preschool class.
This online session will be recorded.
This training is for early years practitioners and leaders working in settings or childminders in our Stronger Practice Hub area (Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, Wiltshire, Somerset, North Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire). We will also prioritise settings and childminders in areas of deprivation.
