Position: Nursery chef, Le Monde Petit, Burnley, Lancashire
- Which healthy meal awards have you helped the nursery to win?
This year, we got gold for the Recipe 4 Health award, an initiative towards cooking healthy food using less salt and sugar. Five years ago, we won the Smile for Life award for fresh food and healthy snacking, and for using less sugar and having water instead of juice.
- What do you most enjoy about your job?
It's a challenge coming in every morning and cooking for the children. You've got to be enthusiastic. It's nice when the children come and ask me what's for lunch.
