Good book for students considering their optional units for both level 2 and level 3. Particularly at level 3 when learners are working with 0-3 years old.

Although a good resource for basic principles regarding Food and health in Early Childhood, the link with health professionals regarding in particular multidisciplinary working is disappointing in not promoting the role of the specialist community public health nurses (SCPHN) Health Visitors and School Nurses who play a vital role in promoting health and wellbeing and nutrition in early childhood. For child branch nursing students this emphasis and link is essential regarding promoting child and family public health and therefore another text was chosen.
