The win marks another endorsement for the centre’s focus on encouraging a healthy, active lifestyle after it recently achieved its Move Well Eat Well accreditation, which involves the adoption of a water-only policy and regular physical activity.
Toddle Inn director Julie Purdon said creating the display had provoked some encouraging conversations about healthy eating.
“The children were very enthusiastic about discussing “sometimes” foods and “everyday” foods,” Mrs Purdon said.
“From these discussions individual children were encouraged to draw and paint their favourite healthy food to create a display board.”
