In their own words:
Here at Crafty Cooks we believe that a love of cooking and an ability to do so is an important skill that every child should have. That is why we start to teach children from as young as 2.5 years old, how to cook a whole range of delicious, nutritious dishes. We'll cook both sweet and savoury, from beetroot cakes to mini quiches with a spattering of chocolate in the middle! All class leaders have undergone enhanced CRB checks and the relevant hygiene saftey training to ensure that your child is in safe hands.
