Description of intervention(s) / exposure
An intervention to improve childcare service implementation of nutrition guidelines (i.e. approximately 50% of serves as specified by the Australian dietary guidelines) will be delivered to eligible long day care centres over six months. The intervention will primarily target childcare service managers and service cooks. Strategy selection will be guided by the theoretical domains framework and consist of the following implementation strategies:
1. Provision of staff training: Service managers and service cooks will be provided with a one-day workshop. The workshop will be delivered by experienced dietitians and health promotion staff and focus on improving skills and knowledge related to menu planning.
2. Provision of resources: A resource pack will be provided to all intervention services. The pack will include the Caring for Children resource, menu planning checklists and recipe ideas. The Caring for children resource, developed by the NSW Ministry of health and summarises best practice nutrition guidelines for the sector and has a focus on menu planning.
3. Ongoing support: An implementation support officer will be allocated to each intervention service. Two face-to-face contacts (duration 1-2 hours), will be provided to intervention services 1 month and 3 months following the menu planning workshop. During the support contacts the service manager and service cook will receive expert advice and support from their allocated support officer to facilitate the implementation of nutrition guidelines.
4. Audit and feedback: Menus of intervention services will be assessed for compliance by a dietitian and feedback provided to implementation support officers at two time points (baseline and 4 months). The implementation support officer will then distribute the feedback to intervention services.
5. Securing executive support: A memorandum of understanding (MOU) will be signed by the implementation support officer, the service manager and the service cook. Intervention service managers will be encouraged provide support and endorse the adherence of nutrition guidelines to all other staff within their service.

Change in proportion of services who are compliant with the nutrition guidelines for individual Australian Guide to healthy Eating food groups ((1) Vegetables and legumes/beans; (2) Fruit; (3) Wholegrain cereal foods and breads; (4) Lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, seeds and legumes; (5) Milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives; and (6) Discretionary foods).
As per the sector nutrition guidelines services are required to provided: 2 serves of the vegetable and legumes/beans food group; 1 serve of the fruit food group; 2 serves of the wholegrain cereals and breads food group; 0.75 serve of Lean meat and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, seeds and legumes food group; 1 serve of Milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternative food group and; 0 serves of discretionary foods, per child each day. A service will be deemed compliant with a food group if their planned menu provides the recommended serve of the food group for each child on everyday across the 2 week menu (10 days),
This outcome will be assessed by comprehensive two-week menu reviews undertaken by a dietitian who is blinded to group allocation.

Intervention acceptability -As part of the follow-up pen and paper questionnaires, services allocated to the intervention group will answer items related to the use, appropriateness and satisfaction with the resources, training and ongoing support provided by the implementation team. Both the service cook and service manager will answer these acceptability items. The items are not validated and will be similar to those used by the research team to evaluate previous health promotion programmes in childcare services

Contamination and co-intervention - Intervention contamination and receipt of other interventions provided separate to the trial will be assessed via pen and paper questionnaires completed by service cooks and service managers both in intervention and
control groups at follow-up. The questionnaire items will assess if the control services were exposed to any intervention materials or support during the study period. If the participants received any additional support to improve menu planning or food preparation during the study period, they will be asked to describe such support.

Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Query!
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Study information and consent forms will be mailed to services approximately one week prior to a telephone call from a research assistant requesting consent to participate in data collection. Random allocation of services to groups will occur following baseline data collection from all long day care services. Allocation to groups will be conducted by an independent research assistant, at a centralised location, using opaque sealed envelopes.
Query!
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Consenting childcare services will be randomly allocated to an intervention or control group in a 1:1 ratio via block randomisation using a random number function in SAS statistical software following baseline data collection.

Summary
Brief summary
Childcare centres represent a promising setting for interventions to improve the dietary behaviours of children as they provide broad reach to a large number of children and opportunities to be exposed to a range of nutrition promoting practices. While nutrition guidelines recommend that childcare centres provides food consistent with dietary guidelines, the impact of improving childcare food service environment on children’s diet in care has not been previously quantified. Previous childcare-based interventions have largely examined the modification of food environments in conjunction with other components which limits the ability to assess the isolated impact of improving food environment and availability on child behaviour. This study aims to assess the effect of an intervention to improve childcare service menus to comply with National nutrition guidelines. The intervention will target childcare service managers and cooks. We hypothesise the intervention will positively impact on service menus and child food intake.
