Childhood is a time of rapid growth and development, so it’s important your child eats a healthy, balanced diet to make sure they’re getting the nutrients and energy they need to stay healthy.

​

This Healthy Lunchbox resource is here to help parents and carers with ideas for packing a healthy, balanced lunchbox. It provides guidance and inspiration, rather than rules about what children should or should not bring. Education and childcare settings may have their own food policies, and this resource is not intended to replace these.
