• Behaviour expectations required; respectful, kind, safe and inclusive. Classes are held at a slow-medium pace with turn-taking and listening to instructions needed.

• Aprons are only worn by one participant  (please feel free to bring your own), surfaces are regularly disinfected and hands are frequently washed and dried with single use paper towel.

• Participants just need to bring 2 plastic containers and a drink bottle. They will take home all food made and students need to arrive 5 mins early with enclosed shoes on and long hair tied back.

• Class sizes are always kept small to be uniquely hands-on with kitchen skills to practice.

• Dietary requirements must be disclosed at time of booking and please also request a vegetarian option at this time.

• Classes can be a mix of age ranges and abilities, though groups can be targetted at specific age ranges.

• Support workers/Parents are very welcome to stay and assist if need be.

Please fill in ‘Register Interest’ form link above or click the individual class link to express interest in joining a group . These friendly classes are run specifically for kids, teens and adults with additional learning needs to get them cooking meals and learning how to use kitchen tools safely together. They are friendly, smaller groups (6 max) and run at a slower, less hectic pace.

Menus are worked out week to week with the participants to include favourite dishes and to extend fussy eaters a little out of their comfort zones (but not too far!). Support workers and parents are very welcome to attend to help or supervise and no extra charge is made.
