It’s not coming - it’s here.
20% of children leave primary school with obesity. Many of them will never have a healthy weight. #WhatAreWeFeedingOurKids

[Teresa Heeney @TeresaHeeney]

Investment in quality early year’s experience must be a priority for next Govt- ensuring the retention of qualified staff, sustainability of operators, affordability and accessibility for families.

State of the Early Years sector over on Facebook -

"For the first 35hrs a week, I am paid £3 an hour and then work for free. I am manager, HR, payroll, cleaner.... Then in April it will be less, if any pay."

According to the government, Early Years funding is sorted?!

Fabulous last day @SunmarkeDubai raising the profile of #PhysicalActivity in the #MiddleEast with @InfiniteUAE . Do your children move enough? Movement underpins all learning in early childhood #dubaiteachers #UAE

I am hoping to see my current 8.2% of male staff increase. I would really like to hit 10%. This is why we are running a male only apprentice cohort. #MenInChildcare

Real food? Fake food? These are terms that don’t mean anything. Too much or too little of most things will be bad for you.

[David Wright @Mr_PaintPots]

“It is good that the Government will provide an extra £1 billion in funding to expand childcare" Here we go again, NO THEY ARE NOT!!! It's to schools to fund wrap around care.

Happy Saturday everyone 😀

Why don't you do some active play this weekend?

Here are some great active play ideas! 👍

[Trussell @TrussellUK]

More people than ever before need #foodbanks. 820,000 emergency food parcels were provided by #foodbanks in our network over the past six months. Enough is enough. We know #ThisCanChange >

[FoundationYearsTrust @FoundationTrust]

Exploring food in play is a great way to encourage children to use their senses! Sensory play promotes healthy brain development and is a good way to build up their vocabulary by using lots of descriptive language for them to copy! #parentsmakethedifference

[HSJ Awards @HSJ_Awards]

The award for Workforce Initiaive of the Year, in partnership with @nhsemployers and @nhsconfed, goes to @NHSEngland! Thank you for all your inspiring work #HSJAwards

[First 1001 Days @first1001days]

New data shows that the early years inequality gap is growing. Action in the #first1001days is critical to break cycles of disadvantage. https://t.co/np5yFjTYm6

Great to see the #ChildhoodObesity report published yesterday highlights the role of nurseries and Ofsted in supporting the prevention of childhood obesity. https://t.co/SGzSmFiREr

[World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific @WHOWPRO]

#DYK that 1 can of soft drink contains about 8.5 🥄 of sugar? 😱😱😱

That alone is more than the daily limit for young children. Choose safe water instead. 💧
