Updated Setting the Table was published on 8 October 2024. It aims to ensure that children from birth to 5 years in childcare settings across Scotland are given meals, snacks and drinks that meet their nutritional requirements and are conducive to good health.
Due to high demand, the Scottish Government has planned another webinar on 11 December 2024 from 10:00-11:00. The webinar will give attendees the opportunity to learn about the content of the updated guidance from the expert group who co-produced the document, and to ask any questions they may have of the panel. You can register for the webinar here.
The expectation is that the guidance will be fully implemented by 1 August 2025 in order to provide time for settings to familiarise themselves with its contents and make changes where necessary. The Care Inspectorate won’t be inspecting against the updated document until after August 2025.
