Gemma Morris: ‘We work together on ways we can use the produce we’ve been given; snacks, batch cooking, etc.’
What does your role involve?
I have been working at Marks Gate Nursery and Pre-school for six years now and no two days are the same. I’m with the children as much as possible, which is the highlight of my job, and I’m regularly needed for cover during morning, lunchtime and evening shifts. The children love to help me in my office, especially with a bit of photocopying – their favourite job!
How do you work together?
Conor, our chef, has been with us for one and a half years and he’s a real part of our team, cooking for both our children here and for our Farrance Road nursery. We plan our food orders together to cater for both nurseries and save money by using City Harvest – a food redistribution charity providing organisations with free food. We use the money we save to fund childcare for families who need more support, providing 15 extra nursery hours and a daily hot meal to some of our most vulnerable children.
