Julie - our Nursery Chef
We are lucky enough to have an in-house chef at Little Beans Garland. Julie serves fresh homemade nutritious meals all day long. We are extremely proud to share with you that our Garland Road site has a food hygiene rating of 5 by environmental health.
"I've worked in education settings for 12 years, and have gained valuable experience and skills over this time. I've managed successful school kitchens, worked in private schools and recently been a SEN learning support assistant.
I'm a mum to two girls and love baking and entertaining for family and friends. My passion of cooking has been incorporated into everything I do. I've taken cookery classes and given vulnerable children important life skills whilst encouraging healthy choices that they may have missed out on in their early years.
I am looking forward to bringing my love of food into my new role at Little Beans and help support, nurture and encourage your children every step of the way”
