## How to design your menu

Our Nutritionist Approved Nursery Menu Accreditation will empower your setting to provide nutritionally balanced, varied menus that not only meet the nutritional needs of young children but go above and beyond the national recommended guidelines.

Our Menu Accreditation has been designed by expert Early Years Nutritionist, Catherine Lippe (RNutr), to recognise and reward settings that demonstrate a standard of excellence in nutrition for young children.
