Caroline Ree- Cook

I am the cook for Little Hearts Preschool. I joined in 2022. Previously I was a registered childminder for 20 years. Now that my children are now growing in to young adults I felt like a change of direction. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and encouraging children to try different types of food. From my 20 years in childminding I have gathered a good few favourite recipes to bring to the table!

Nutrition in Early Years is very important, so making meals fun with the occasional treat is what we aim to provide at preschool.
