Celebrating our Beautiful chef Anne
At Nido Early School, we are incredibly lucky to have people who bring warmth, kindness, and heart into our centre every single day, and our wonderful chef Anne is one of those very special people.
Anne has been part of the Nido family nearly four years, and during that time she has become so much more than our chef. She is a friendly face each morning, a caring presence in our Centre, and someone who is deeply loved by our staff, educators, families, and especially our children.
This year, Anne received the heartbreaking news that she was facing a terminal cancer diagnosis which has metastasized in her body. The last few months have been incredibly difficult for Anne and for all of us who care about her so deeply. Yet through every challenge, Anne continues to show remarkable strength, courage, and positivity.
Anne’s impact on our Nido Iluka community is impossible to put into words. She has filled countless little tummies with nutritious meals made with love, shared laughter with educators, and built beautiful connections with children and families over the years. She is truly one of the hearts of our Centre.
As a community, we want Anne to know just how loved and supported she is. We are standing beside her every step of the way and holding onto hope, strength, and positivity together.
Anne, thank you for being the incredible person you are. Your courage shines brightly, and we are all so proud to know you.
