Our Registered Nutritionists
Edwina Revel- Nutrition Director
BSc, MSc, RNutr, BFIqA
I am a Registered Nutritionist (Association for Nutrition) and qualified feeding therapist with over 20 years' experience, gained from working in the early years. As manager of the Early Start Nutrition team I am proud of the evidence based early intervention and preventative services we provide in the field of maternal, infant and toddler nutrition. I enjoy developing nutrition training and parent resources which supports professionals and families to provide children with nutritious foods and encourage healthy habits from an early age; at nursery and at home.

Georgia Leech- Senior Nutritionist

I'm the Senior Nutritionist, specialising in maternal and paediatric nutrition. I'm a Registered Nutrition (Association for Nutrition) and qualified feeding therapist and I’ve worked in early years nutrition for over 10 years and enjoy delivering nutrition training and support to early years practitioners. I love having the opportunity to visit settings and see first-hand how they implement best nutrition practice! I especially love creating themed recipes to share across our social media, along with developing recipe videos for our Eat in With Early Start series on YouTube.
