Centre Chef

About us

At Leap Start we cater 3 meals a day for children aged 8 weeks - 5 years old. The service was opened in 2022 where we continued to grow into a busy service. All our learning hubs have their own small kitchen as well as the main kitchen where the chef/cook is based. This gives the children and educators an opportunity to do culinary classes and work alongside the chef with cooking experiences. We have 3 non-contact staff in our management that is able to support the service and the families for their daily needs.
