Why this club
A different kind of after-school
Designed by a chef
All classes are designed and planned by Chef Dairo Lopez, contestant on MasterChef: The Professionals UK 2024.
Real food
Seasonal, colourful, honest ingredients. Nothing from a packet or a squeezy bottle.
Small groups
Up to 15 confirmed children per group, waiting list from place 16, so everyone gets proper hands-on time.
Safe and inclusive
Allergies, faith and dietary needs planned into every recipe. Safeguarding first.
Year groups
Choose the right group for your child
Two weekly groups: KS1 (Years 1 and 2) on Thursdays and KS2 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6) on Fridays, both 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm. Each group is designed around what children can safely and joyfully do at their age.
