A nursery child or toddler is a child between the first and third year of life,who after the infant period, has another period of it's life that can have an impact on growth and development in the future. Proper nutrition is important for proper growth and development at any age, and it is especially important for those periods in which the child grows the fastest and develops the most intensively. As early as in the nursery age , with proper nutrition, we can have a preventive effect on the appearance of pathological changes and chronic diseases that can occur in adulthood, and malignant diseases who can also occur in addition to these chronic diseases. Many children use these habits in their later life, because acquiring good habits in kindergartens leads to health in the future. Child nutrition in kindergarten is not only the fulfillment of children's daily energy and nutritional needs, but is an important part of the educational process in which the child acquires knowledge, skills and abilities and forms attitudes about the importance of nutrition. At the age of 1-3 years, the child draws most of its energy from carbohydrates, while fats decrease. The need for vitamins and minerals is greater, so it is recommended that the child have 3 main meals and 2 snacks. Every person who works in the preparation and storage of food must maintain a high level of personal hygiene. The menu of a nursery-age child should include foods with optimal intake of energy, all nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in the daily menu, along with a varied diet that includes all groups of foods. According to the pyramid of proper nutrition, food is divided into six groups: cereals, vegetables and fruits, milk and milk products, meat, fats and sweets, which should be eaten in the smallest quantities. The aesthetic appearance of the food, the table as well as the atmosphere in the dining room, should arouse the desire and need to eat within the children. The nurse encourages a adequate lifestyle, proper nutrition, care for children's health care, hygienic and sanitary conditions and the improvement of a healthy environment.
