The Safer Food Group understands the importance of good food in children’s development, which is why we created Early Years Courses – food safety training especially for Early Years practitioners.

We’ve developed a range of courses to meet the needs of any chef, cook, childminder or nursery practitioner who works with food, whether they are designing healthy menus, cooking delicious lunches or serving and supervising snacktime. Courses have been written with invaluable input and advice from Early Years experts, to ensure they meet the requirements set out by the EYFS Framework.

Early Years Courses is the ideal site for practice leaders – our management information system stores and presents learner records to authorised staff and sends renewal reminders to help you keep up to date. Discounts for Early Years customers ensure you’re getting the best value courses available, and multi-buy discounts offer further reductions to sites needing 5 or more courses at one time.

The Safer Food Group are experts in the field of food safety training, so our learners know that we will present the latest best practice and legislation information. We also support our customers with news updates and free resources, including our Guide to Early Years Catering.

*Courses discounted from 07/02/2022, compared to single unit prices of standard The Safer Food Group courses
