Nutrition and Wellbeing
Our in-house nutritionist, Sharonne, is an experienced chef and educator with formal qualifications in nutrition and a genuine passion for healthy eating and nature exploration. She combines her professional expertise with the hands-on experience of raising her own fussy eaters, bringing empathy, practicality, and real-life understanding to her work with families and educators.
Sharonne designs seasonal, balanced menus and provides friendly, evidence-based guidance to families on nutrition and lunchbox ideas. She supports families with fussy eaters through approachable strategies and simple recipes to try at home, making healthy eating an enjoyable and achievable part of everyday life.
In her role, Sharonne works alongside educators in the rooms, helping to create positive mealtimes and smooth transitions that nurture children’s confidence, curiosity, and independence. Together, they build engaging food and wellness experiences that encourage children to explore new tastes, develop self-help skills, and understand the importance of healthy choices. Through these shared experiences, children not only expand their knowledge and practical skills, but also strengthen their overall health, wellbeing, and connection to the natural world.
Sharonne also delivers cooking and nutrition education for educators, offering coaching, tailored resources, and hands-on demonstrations that embed wellness practices into everyday learning. By integrating nutrition and wellbeing across the program, Sharonne helps educators build their own confidence in supporting children’s lifelong healthy habits.
Working closely with our kitchen and educator teams, Sharonne promotes food safety, allergen management, and the creation of calm, dining-like environments that bring a sense of joy and connection to mealtimes. Her holistic approach benefits the entire community, empowering educators, supporting families, and fostering environments where children can truly thrive.
