Consultancy Services

Sometimes you just need someone to come in and have a look at things with a fresh pair of eyes (rather critical ones) and then help you along the way with new ideas and an improved overall nutrition message.

This can be a long term project or a one off few hours/days - whatever your needs and budget I am always happy to have a chat.

I can provide support with the following

Nutrition Message
Menu reviews and development
Policy writing
Marketing messages
Company wide training

Who I am working with (or completed projects for)

Childbase Partnership

I approached Louise to assist in our menu review process to ensure that the food we offered our children was nutritionally balanced. We know there is a lack of guidance for children’s nutrition and wanted to use Louise, a nutritional therapist, to review and provide guidance for our next menu launch. What I thought would be a review of menus, and some possible adaptations, turned into a very interesting lesson and deep insight into how formative early years is on lifetime eating behaviours.

Louise has brought to my attention how big a part Childbase Partnership can play in lifetime eating behaviours and our focus on our ‘food experience’ has changed from ensuring our menus are nutritionally balanced to ensuring our food offers developmental benefits to our children, both physically and mentally. We now have a greater focus on the educational aspect of menu development and are currently developing training materials to deliver this messaging to our colleagues, our children and their families.

Family First Day Nurseries

Louise has helped us with our summer menu preparation, I must say her knowledge of nutrition is 10/10. Louise has helped to give underpinning guidance on what the changes are to ensure that staff fully appreciate and embed the changes.

She's given us many fantastic ideas and all these ideas have factual evidence to prove and answer many people's "WHY" questions.

She's also gone above and beyond in a short time scale, we can't wait for the next menu launch, Louise!

Ootiboo

Ootiboo is working with Louise on our Heathy Unicorns project. Funded by Bexley Council the project aims to help tackle the issue of childhood obesity in the borough.
Louise’s expertise and passion on the subject of child nutrition and healthy choices has helped to elevate the project. She joined the project half way through and her input enabled us to re-work our content to ensure its accuracy and to reflect a more progressive approach. Her attention to detail, especially in the messaging around such a sensitive subject is key for us to be able to deliver a series of successful workshops.
We are looking forward to collaborating with Louise on future projects and to support her endeavour to make lasting change in childhood nutrition and heathy choices.

Nurture Me Day Nursery

We have worked with Louise on a menu project, to make improvements to our dietary options. We found that children with dietary requirements were being served dishes that looked very different to the other children. We don't want any child to feel excluded so Louise has worked with our chef to create dietary meals that are very similar to the regular menu. This not only saves us money from buying expensive meals from outside caterers, but also gives the chef greater control over his menu.

Louise is passionate about healthy food and healthy brains, she is very knowledgeable and great fun to work with.

Dogsthorpe Infant School

"Louise has helped us notice that we needed more 'brain nutrients' in our school meals and with her help we now have a new supplier and a new menu which the children love and are embracing new foods!

Early Years TV

“It is easy to access lots of recipes and menus for the Early Years sector, however, it is very rare indeed to have the nutritional benefits explained.

Louise has an exceptional skill at sharing her knowledge of nutrition for young children in a way that is clear, practical and easy to implement. This is especially true of complex issues such as childhood obesity, sugar consumption and the links between health, nutrition and sport.

Louise has used her nutritional knowledge, communication skills and clear ideas for the benefit of the Early Years sector worldwide.

Various Projects

I've had the privilege of connecting with Louise, and I must say that her relentless pursuit of ensuring a brighter future for the next generation through access to nutritious food is nothing short of remarkable. Louise's dedication and unwavering commitment to this cause are truly inspiring.

What truly sets Louise apart is her ability to impart knowledge and passion to those around her. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she has a unique talent for engaging and educating others in a way that leaves a lasting impact. She has a remarkable gift for making complex issues understandable and relatable to a broad audience, which is a rare and invaluable skill in our fast-paced, information-driven world

"Louise stood out to me as not only was she passionate about what she was trying to achieve – improvements in nutrition for Early Years but was also pragmatic to understand commercial requirements needed to produce large scale quantities.

Louise has helped us validate our menus and ensured we are making dishes that improve children’s outcomes

Louise is passionate about what she does and this rubs off on us all and helps educate us. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Louise to any one"
