Policy elements poster

We understanding updating policies can be a challenging task, particularly in large franchise services.

We have developed a poster you may prefer to display clearly at your service, which shows your commitment to the Munch & Move recommended policy elements for breastfeeding, nutrition, physical activity and screen time. 

To find the right poster, please click the text below which best reflects your service:

  • Preschool and lunchbox services
  • Preschool and menu services
  • Long day care and menu services
  • Long day care and lunchbox services

 

 

Policy review checklist

Munch & Move recommends several key elements are included in your policies regarding breastfeeding (if your service has children aged <12 months), nutrition, physical activity and screen time. 

Downlaod the policy review checklist to identify whether your policies contain all the recommended elements, or whether updates may be necessary.

 

 

 

These templates have been provided to assist early childhood education and care services to develop their own breastfeeding, nutrition, physical activity and screen time policies.  Tailor the information in these templates to your particular service by:

  • Deleting sections that are not relevant to your service
  • Adding additional points that reflect your practice.
  • Involving staff and families in the policy development and review process.
  • Ensuring that the final document is on display and accessible to all staff and families.
