How many days is the course?
The course runs for 4 days, Monday to Thursday.
What does my child need to bring?
- Children will be required to bring in sealable Tupperware to store their creations and take home at the end of the day (2 pieces, one for savory dish and one for sweet dish)
- Children should bring a healthy packed lunch with morning and afternoon snacks especially if you are dropping your child off early or picking them up late, this should include an ice block as we do not have facilities to refrigerate food. Please be aware that children on camp may have nut allergies – please try as best you can to avoid nuts in your child’s packed lunch. Here's some healthy lunch box ideas from Change4Life!
- Refillable water bottle that the children can take out with them throughout the day (we supply drinking water for them to fill their bottles).
- During cold or wet weather, please ensure your child brings appropriate clothing including a coat for break and lunch times.
- Please ensure all long hair is tied up.
Can my child attend both weeks?
Your child is welcome to book onto both weeks, however, our programme for Ultimate Cookery is repeated each week with the same recipes.
What are the times?
Our normal drop off time is between 8:30 and 9:30am and collection is between 4:30 and 5:15pm. However, we offer an optional Extended Day Pass (EDP) where parents can drop off from 8:00am and collect until 6pm. EDP’s cost £9 per day (includes am and pm extended day) and can be added up to 24 hours in advance. Children with an EDP will enjoy supervised activities to keep them happy and entertained. Please call us to add this to your booking.
What are the child:staff ratios?
Our Ultimate Cookery has one Course Leader and one Course Instructor, making the ratio of 2 staff to a maximum of 16 children.
Who are your staff?
Our staff are chosen for their experience, qualifications, attitude and passion for working with children. All of our staff are selected through a rigorous recruitment process. We conduct Enhanced DBS checks and references on all our staff, and they are all put through our Ultimate training programme. All this means you can be confident that your child is in the best possible hands. Our Cookery staff also have specific qualifications related to the course and have a passion for food and cookery.
What will my child get?
Each child will get the opportunity to take home their creations each day (1 savory and 1 sweet recipe). They will also be provided with the recipe cards so they can recreate the dishes at home.
