Prince Charles
‘His Royal Highness Is Delighted That Raisingkids is encouraging families to eat together through its Back To
The Table campaign.’
[Sir Michael Peet, Principal Private Secretary to HRH The Prince of Wales]
Emma Thompson
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening. Meal-times are brilliant for talking and listening, because you can let a mouthful go down while you talk, and chew while you're listening. It's the perfect arrangement.'
Dr Tanya Byron
'Oh I agree – mealtimes, no telly, sitting at the table. Even if you’re not eating with the kids, sit with them and chat about their day and your day. It’s a nice bit of downtime. It also gets kids much more interested in food and the process of eating. A lot of kids with eating problems are just stuck in front of the telly – they don’t know what they’re putting in their mouth.
It’s very important from a developmental and eating perspective.'
Gordon Ramsay
I strongly believe that the enjoyment of good food starts with the family meal. If Back To The Table encourages families to eat together more often, this will also encourage better communication and support within the family unit. Every good wish for your very worthy initiative.
Antonio Carluccio
'Not every day, but once a week, you should gather all the family together and share a special moment round the table.'
The Relationships Foundation
Keep Time For Children is delighted to be a supporter of the national Back To The Table week, encouraging families to spend mealtimes together. If your family struggles to eat together, why not take this opportunity to make a fresh start?

Nanny McPhee
Nanny McPhee is delighted to be an official supporter of the Back To The Table campaign. Written by and starring Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, Nanny McPhee is sure to become an enduring family classic. Based on the Nurse Matilda children’s book series by Christianna Brand, Emma Thompson stars as a nanny with magical powers who enters the household of the recently widowed Mr Brown (Colin Firth) and attempts to tame his seven exceedingly ill-behaved children. But as Nanny McPhee takes control, they begin to notice that their vile behaviour now leads swiftly and magically to rather startling consequences.
