Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to stay with my child during the class?

Not necessarily — sessions are supervised throughout. One accompanying adult is welcome to stay if your child would feel more comfortable, just let us know in advance.

What age range are the classes suitable for?

Our current sessions are aimed at ages 6–12. If you're unsure whether a class suits your child, get in touch before booking.

Will you cater for allergies?

Yes — tell us about any allergies when you enquire so we can plan the session around them. Detailed allergen procedures will be published once confirmed.

Do you offer classes beyond the summer holidays?

Not yet — weekend and term-time children's classes are part of our future plans. Join the priority list to hear first when new dates are announced.

What will my child actually cook?

Simple, hands-on recipes with no sharp knives needed — currently chapatis and fruit-topped naan pizzas, chosen so every child can genuinely do the cooking themselves.
