Acclaimed author on nutrition and cooking for children and families Annabel Karmel will be the keynote speaker at NCMA's Annual Conference and Exhibition in Leeds.

 

The conference, which runs from 6-7 November 2009, will provide hundreds of registered childminders with an opportunity to hear from a range of speakers, including NCMA's President and childcare expert, Dame Gillian Pugh.

 

Annabel Karmel is set to provide delegates with inspiration on helping young children to eat healthily and providing ideas for tempting recipes for childminders to try. She will also be signing books at the conference.

 

Catherine Farrell, joint Chief Executive at NCMA, said:
"NCMA is excited to have Annabel Karmel address conference this year, sharing her years of experience in food and nutrition for children and families. Registered childminders recognise their important role in providing children with a healthy start in life, so we hope Annabel will further inspire childminders to continue their existing good practice."

 

Annabel Karmel said:
“I am delighted to be speaking to registered childminders and nannies to help support them in providing healthy and nutritious food for the children in their care. Registered childminders provide a home from home and can support parents in teaching children to develop healthy eating habits that will last them throughout their lives.”
