How do I know if a childcare provider has achieved the Tiny Tums Best Practice Award?

Choosing childcare is a hugely important decision for the whole family. The right childcare provider will help your child to learn, have fun and make new friends, meeting all day-to-day needs, and keeping your child safe.

It can also be reassuring for a parent or carer to know that the setting they are considering offers food and drink that provides your child with the right balance of energy and nutrients to have healthy growth and development, to achieve a healthy weight and protect against certain diseases.

The Tiny Tums Best Practice Award shows that a childcare provider is committed to the health of your child and complies with Welsh Government (2018) Food and Nutrition Guidelines for Childcare Settings.
