Childcare and Business Manager
Natalie
I’m Natalie, the Childcare and Business Manager of the Little Oaks Group, and I’ve been here since the very beginning. My main passion lies in creating outstanding provisions for our children while ensuring our staff are well looked after and supported throughout their journey with us. Childcare is no easy business, but it’s incredibly rewarding, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’m dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching environment for both our children and our team while managing and developing a sustainable business.

Catering Manager
Suzanne
Hi, I am Suzanne the Catering Manager responsible for supplying nutritional and healthy choices across all settings within Little Oaks.
My love for food began at a young age creating and experimenting having an eye for detail and flair.
Whilst achieving culinary qualifications I worked in fine dining which led me to venture into industrial catering services ,including the education sector and working for the NHS, becoming a trainer for Food Hygiene. My interests opened doors which swiftly enticed me towards Regulations, Risks and the Safety of our food where I achieved an Advanced qualification.
I joined the Little Oaks family in 2021 by helping develop and the opening up of their own “In house” catering department ensuring all dietary & sensitive food requests are met. By introducing the children to new flavours, textures and tastes can be rewarding for all.
