We鈥檙e delighted that 13 of our early years鈥� pre-school settings have achieved Aneurin Bevan Health Board鈥檚 Gold Standard Healthy Snack Award,聽supported by our Healthy & Sustainable Pre-School Scheme.
The food and drink offered in childcare settings plays an important role in the health of children and can help develop good eating habits to set them up for the best start in life. Snack times are an important opportunity for children to develop their communication skills, independence and numeracy.

Here they are collecting their awards:
