Whilst early childhood education and care (ECEC) is a promising setting for interventions targeting children's nutrition behaviours, previous interventions have largely used high intensity, face-to-face approaches, limiting their reach, implementation and potential impact at a population level.

As such, this study sought to collect feasibilit
