Abstract: In response to national policies on childcare services for children under three years of age, and to address the urgent need to improve nutrition and meal provision in childcare institutions, this expert consensus has been developed. It systematically outlines the basic principles of nutrition design, standardises the formulation of age-appropriate menus and meal schedules, and specifies institutional systems, process management rules and quality control requirements for in-house and outsourced kitchen operations in childcare institutions. Furthermore, it suggests practical ways to integrate digital management tools into daily meal management. The consensus aims to enhance the dietary services in childcare institutions by implementing evidence-based meal preparation, standardised operating procedures and long-term nutrition education. This will provide practical guidance to improve the nutritional health and well-being of infants and toddlers.
