幼儿园为0-5岁的儿童提供全天托儿服务，每天超过4小时。研究人员呼吁进行研究，以了解这种情况下的营养和身体活动。一直提倡通过发展与食品和健康相关做法的健康联系，在学龄前预防肥胖。虽然许多司法管辖区都有在幼儿环境中促进最佳营养和与健康有关的做法的指导方针，但人们注意到相关条例很差，对托儿设施环境的评价主要是安全方面的。许多横断面研究概述了在这种情况下营养不良和身体活动的做法。然而，据我们所知，针对儿童保育提供者的环境和政策层面的干预措施很少，没有证据表明爱尔兰有这种干预措施。本文件的目的是审查有关学前环境中促进健康最佳做法的国际准则和建议：服务和资源提供；食品服务和食品供应；以及家长在学前教育中的角色和参与。概述了可用于衡量这种做法的干预方案和评估工具；并从现有的最佳实践中制定了一项干预计划，该计划被引入爱尔兰全日托儿所学前环境。
A pre-school offering a full-day-care service provides for children aged 0-5 years for more than 4h/d. Researchers have called for studies that will provide an understanding of nutrition and physical activity practices in this setting. Obesity prevention in pre-schools, through the development of healthy associations with food and health-related practices, has been advocated. While guidelines for the promotion of best nutrition and health-related practice in the early years' setting exist in a number of jurisdictions, associated regulations have been noted to be poor, with the environment of the child-care facility mainly evaluated for safety. Much cross-sectional research outlines poor nutrition and physical activity practice in this setting. However, there are few published environmental and policy-level interventions targeting the child-care provider with, to our knowledge, no evidence of such interventions in Ireland. The aim of the present paper is to review international guidelines and recommendations relating to health promotion best practice in the pre-school setting: service and resource provision; food service and food availability; and the role and involvement of parents in pre-schools. Intervention programmes and assessment tools available to measure such practice are outlined; and insight is provided into an intervention scheme, formulated from available best practice, that was introduced into the Irish full-day-care pre-school setting.
