I completely agree with the comments above. First the kids really need to understand that throwing the food on the floor is completely unacceptable. Second, limiting the quantity of the food provided will significantly reduce your frustration with waisting.
The things that always work here, either with picky eaters or with a food that is less liked is
1- have something they really like such as fruit or yogourt to offer afterwards and explain to them they will only get it when they are done what they have in their plates,
2- cheer them on, I have a french daycare so I will scream "bravo" after a bite and get the other kids in on the cheering
3- get all kids to take a bite together, its amazing what they will do as a group if you manage to motivate and encourage them through.
I find that with everything challenging if we spin the situation around and be extra positive with songs and cheer rather than constant repeating and nagging (when possible of course), it often works wonders and gets the kids off guard!
