Background
Ensuring children at nursery get good food is a core part of promoting their wellbeing. Busy Bees at Hatfield Road in St Albans, Hertfordshire, is part of a chain of private nurseries but has been recognised for its efforts to go above and beyond when it comes to catering.
Action
Nursery chef Carolyn Lemare has worked at Busy Bees in Hatfield Road for just over four years, having previously been a catering manager at a garden centre and working in schools.
