Helping children to eat healthily and be more physically active in their early years is very important for their health. This establishes healthy lifestyle behaviours that they can continue to use in their older childhood and into adulthood. Startwell wants children to eat well, be active and achieve more.
Startwell Birmingham is an NHS approved programme based around 8 key characters and their messages to help early years settings, parents and health professionals create a healthier environment for our children and families.

Healthy snacks help keep children energised and ready to learn. Our Startwell character 2 Snacks Max promotes two healthy snacks each day to support children's growth, development, and concentration. Fruit, vegetables, and plain starchy foods such as breadsticks, rice cakes, or crackers are great snack choices for growing bodies. By providing nutritious options and positive food experiences, we can help children develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime
