A simple, professional one-page form designed to help early years settings gather important information about a child’s current feeding, weaning and mealtime needs when they join the setting.

The checklist gives parents and carers an easy way to share what their child is already eating, the textures they manage, allergens that have been introduced at home, milk and drinking routines, and any support they may need at mealtimes.

It includes sections for:

• milk feeds and drinking

• textures currently managed

• the four main food groups

• foods already introduced at home

• all 14 allergens

• known allergies or intolerances

• mealtime skills and preferences

• foods enjoyed or refused

• signs the child is full

• support that helps at mealtimes

• additional parent/carer information

Ideal for nurseries, pre-schools and childminders to use as part of the settling-in or registration process.

A useful way to support safe, consistent and individualised mealtime practice from the very beginning.
