Kate Winslet says she is a "Supermum" - because she wakes up at 5am to look after her children.

The actress is proud of her ability to juggle a Hollywood career and run a busy household, as mother to four-year-old Mia and baby Joe.

The star, who is married to second husband, director Sam Mendes, told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Every morning I have what I call my 'Supermum Moments'. My baby wakes up at 5am and I often leave the house at seven for work, so between five and seven I get myself ready, get Joe fed and make him pureed chicken and butternut squash for the next two days.

"It's so amazing being a mum and I love the sense that I can do it all. I'm a very good wife and mother."

The blonde beauty says she manages her domestic life so well, she fools her children into believing she doesn't have a career.

She added: "Mia recently asked me, 'What are we going to do tomorrow?' I said we could go to the zoo. Then I said, 'You know, Mia, some mummies go to work every day.'

"And she said, 'I'm lucky because you don't work, do you?' And that's the best thing she could have said."
