摘要

Introduction

Promoting healthy dietary behaviours to prevent overweight in children remains a challenge, with early childhood education and care settings representing a key context for intervention. This mixed methods study aimed to identify opportunities and challenges for nutrition promotion in everyday practice from the perspectives of educators and childcare centre directors.

Methods

Building on qualitative semi-structured interviews with 10 educators, a quantitative online survey was conducted among 52 childcare centre directors in the federal state of Bremen, Germany.

Results

Facilitating factors included the involvement of children and families as well as supportive institutional conditions, whereas conflicting information, everyday implementation barriers, marketing influences, and institutional challenges were identified as hindering factors.

Conclusion

Innovative, flexible, and target group-specific approaches to nutrition promotion in childcare settings remain necessary. Future interventions should actively involve both parents and children, be practice-oriented and communicate messages in creative ways.
