The updated guidance, published on 8 October 2024, aims to ensure that children from birth to five years in childcare settings across Scotland are given meals, snacks and drinks that meet their nutritional requirements and make a positive difference to their health. It replaces the previous ‘Setting the Table’ guidance, which was published in 2015 and last updated in 2018, and reflects the most up-to-date scientific and nutritional advice.
