Support Team
As well as James and Ottavia, the Hazelhut is supported by a number of other people. Most importantly the majority of our catering comes from the excellent local restaurant 'La Corte Dei Prefetti di Vico' where Marilena and her team prepare delicious meals for the children in our care.
We also have visiting helpers, teachers and local professionals who enable us to enrich some of our many learning experiences.
