Little Chefs
Little Chefs is a fun filled 6 week cookery group for families with children aged 2-and-a-half to 4.
Gain confidence in your cooking skills and learn how to involve your little one in preparing food.
Children will find out where food comes from, how it grows and why we need to eat a variety of foods to stay healthy.
Each week we'll explore themes like 'eat a rainbow' and 'plants give us food' through cookery, craft activities or a story time.
