**STAFF TESTIMONIAL**
Chef Darran's work-life balance was overhauled when he started cooking for a Nursery, creating healthy dishes for young children.

“Getting a job at Children’s Corner has in many ways changed my life. I had spent the previous 23 years working in mainstream catering, working frankly ridiculous hours and as a result had almost no home life at all. Even when I had a day off I only wanted to sleep, which wasn’t fair on my wife or my children who had not seen me for most of the week anyway.

“Working in the Nursery I get afternoons and weekends off to spend with my family. My working hours are way less but my pay isn’t much lower than it was previously. The environment has really helped my state of mind too; much less stress, supportive co-workers and the children make much better customers than the average restaurant goer”

Darran has worked for Children’s Corner for almost seven years and was presented with ‘Support Staff of The Year Award’ at the company’s annual awards.
