A big thank you to Gemma for organising an amazing Teddy Bear Picnic party! The event was so well organised, and the children had an absolute blast. They loved making their own pizzas and sandwiches — not to mention the delicious sweet treats! Communication with Gemma was easy and stress-free. She took care of everything, from catering to entertainment — a total win for parents who want to avoid the usual party-planning headaches. Once again, thank you to Gemma and the team for putting together the perfect party. Thank you!

Thank you so much for my daughters “Little Italy” 6th Birthday Party! The team were very organised and the whole party ran like clockwork. All the children had the best time! I’d recommend Cook Stars Mid Hants, the whole experience from enquiry to the party was fantastic. Thank you!

For my sons 9th birthday we requested the assistance of Helen from Cotswolds Four Shires Cook Stars. My son requested High Tea with a Minecraft theme all of which we decided to host at a local hall. The children had two hours which primarily focused on baking and then decorating cupcakes(with some other activities). In addition to this a favourite activity of my sons was that all his friends decorated his own birthday cake. On speaking with some of the other children decorating their chefs hats was also lots of fun. It was a different experience for them than the usual parties and would recommend this to others.

Gemma and her helper Helen were absolutely amazing hosting my daughters 8th birthday. The high tea party was so lovely and from start to finish I couldn't fault the service. I would highly recommend using Gemma, and will definitely be booking some classes as well. Thank you so much.

What an absolutely amazing party for my daughter! Helen was brilliant with communication and had everything covered from the smallest detail, she had thought of everything. My daughter had asked for the experimenters party and it was a massive hit with her and her friends! My daughter loved every minute of it from exploding volcanoes to having a birthday cake secretly decorated by her friends. Also provided was a very impressive buffet! We are looking forward to baking the party bag of chocolate chip cookies. Thank you so so much to Helen and Harley for making my daughter’s 10th birthday party one to remember

We’ve just had a teddy bears picnic party for our 4 year old and it couldn’t have been a better party. Ally, Helen & Taryn were excellent! The set up was perfect and looked great. They kept the children engaged throughout and made the party completely stress free for me, allowing me to enjoy the party with my little boy and family. There was so much food and a good variety to cater for any fussy eaters. My son made sure he was the last child to leave the picnic mat by finishing every last crumb. He had the absolute best time and hasn’t stopped talking about it. Thank you so much for a fantastic party! Can’t recommend Cook Stars enough!

Joanna of Cook Stars Tees Valley East has been helpful from the start. She explained everything in her emails about the parties and what they involved, she helped with sourcing a venue, made sure that any dietary requirements were catered for and offered ideas on other elements regards making my daughters 10th birthday party one to remember. We opted for the Little Italy party where the kids make their own pizzas, but swapped the ice cream for cupcake decorating. Joanna and her colleague Ellie were well organised and made the party fun and engaging, my daughter and her friends really enjoyed it. It was unusual and lots of parents commented on what a great idea it was. Joanna also arranged some games in between the cooking which the girls loved. I would recommend this as a party get together, it was so much fun and so well organised! Thank you Joanna & Ellie, Mia loved it!

Claire B

The Birthday boy and his friends loved doing all the experiments and loved hearing all the happy giggles from the children and their big smiles as their volcanoes exploded and getting messy with the slime. The party was well organised and seamless and Ali knowing the children was a huge help to running and making the day go really smoothly. Stress free and everything was provided and we just turned up with a cake and party bags although this could have been included too. Thank you Jo Ali and Helen for making the party so easy and organised. After now being to a few Cookstars parties - all different would highly recommend. Thanks all xxx

Wow, what an amazing party we had for our little girls 8th birthday. Liz was amazing with the girls, they were busy from the minute the party started to the very end. I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable party we’ve ever had for one of our own children. Liz did EVERYTHING and when I say EVERYTHING- I mean it! Decorations, table cloths, hosting, entertaining, cleaning up after. I obviously panic bought squash, extra food etc but we didn’t need anything at all- Liz had it all under control. If you book a party with cook stars- that’s literally the only thing you need to do- EVERYTHING else is taken care of, even the smaller things like party plates and cups! If you’re looking for an easy party where you can actually relax and enjoy the party too- it’s well worth a booking at Cook Stars!!!

Jess ran the most brilliant cheesecake party for our son's 6th birthday. 17 children were fully engaged from start to finish with chefs hats to decorate, biscuits to crush, cream to whip, edible jewellery to make and games to play. We arrived at the venue with a birthday cake and Jess brought literally everything else: all the ingredients and equipment, the party tea (sandwiches, cakes, ice cream), party bags, tea, coffee & biscuits for the parents - and even spare napkins, candles and matches if needed for the cake! She set everything up and tidied everything away, leaving us time to actually enjoy the party and spend time with the other parents Thank you for such an enjoyable and stress-free party. All the children loved it - and all the parents were super-impressed.

The High Tea Party that Sara and Ellie held for our 8 year old daughter was absolutely brilliant! The booking process was simple and Sara was on hand for any questions as well as asking what our daughter liked most! The day was easy and relaxed; Sara and Ellie had everything in hand and thought of every detail and touch you could imagine; from recipe cards, chefs hats to decorate and a fantastic High Tea that catered for all tastes. I can’t thank you both enough for the care and kindness you showed - you kept it fun whilst also having a hold of timings, and yet didn’t make it feel rushed. Absolutely brilliant!

Today we celebrated my daughter’s 9th birthday with a ‘Little Italy’ part, run by Sam, and had a great time! Everything was really well organised and the kids all had a great time, thank you!

Emma organised a fantastic high tea birthday party for our 5 year old and 15 of her friends. Lots of fun and the edible jewellery making was a big hit! I’ve had so much great feedback from parents too and everyone loved their bake at home cookie party bags

Stephanie H

My daughter’s party was fantastic! It was ran by Hannah from cook stars! The children loved it from the start to the end! They made cupcakes, decorated them and made edible necklaces! Absolutely loved it. Hannah was a great host and amazing with the children. A perfect host!

Tanya hosted my son’s 4th birthday party this weekend! 10 under 5’s for a little Italy party! My son and his friends got to decorate their very own chef’s hat in preparation for making their own pizza’s! They all followed instructions and got stuck in making the pizza dough, then whilst the pizza’s were cooking they got to get creative and make their very own edible necklaces! After the pizzas were cooked they all sat down to eat them and to finish off they had a yummy ice cream sundae! Tanya prepared absolutely everything which made hosting a children’s party stress free! I would highly recommend this service for anyone looking for a fun unique birthday party idea!

Sara hosted an amazing party for our daughter’s 6th birthday. Both Sara and Ellie kept the kids entertained the entire time and they all enjoyed every single minute. Sara couldn’t do enough for us from setting up to clearing up and I didn’t need to bring anything, Sara had everything sorted. The care and attention detail is what makes these parties such a hit,I I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you so much Sara

We booked Jess for a Cook Stars party for our daughter’s 6th birthday. She and all her friends had the best time. They loved making their food, playing a team quiz and decorating a cake. Jess organised everything and there were so many lovely touches that made it a special day. I cannot recommend Jess highly enough for parties!

Lucy S

Gemma organised and ran my daughter’s birthday party. It was so easy, I didn’t have to think about a thing. Gemma went above and beyond to make sure my daughter had a wonderful time. Lots of the children told me it was the best party they had been to because it was something different. Highly recommend! Thanks again Gemma!

Katherine H

We recently welcomed Lucy and her team into our home to host an afternoon tea birthday party for our 10 year old daughter. The girls all had a fantastic time and were so proud of the cakes they made. Lucy and her team organised everything including cleaning and tidying up the kitchen for us afterwards. It was spotless! I highly recommend Cook Stars for a very stress free birthday party. Thank you!

Rebecca R

We’ve just had a Cook Stars birthday party for two 6 year olds and their friends and it was absolutely fantastic. Everything was taken care of, from set up to clear up leaving us parents to join in as much or little as we liked. Gemma and Helen worked their socks off keeping all the children entertained and, miraculously, focused for 2 hours. Most importantly, the kids had a great time. Highly recommended.

Rhiannon B

Thank you Jess, my daughter’s party absolutely perfect! It was her 7th and we had the afternoon tea, the girls were busy for the whole 2 hours and went home with the most delicious cupcakes. The look on their little faces when they cracked the eggs, the cakes came out the oven, they cut the icing into flower shapes.. with some games and crafts to boot, it was just delightful! Jess even kindly got on board with my theme bringing plates/boxes in complimentary colours! I would highly recommend and had lots of lovely comments from parents! We look forward to seeing you again Jess!

Emily M

Amy was wonderful from start to finish. Took care of everything and the children were entertained throughout. We chose the Little Experimenters for my daughter’s 10th birthday and they absolutely loved the exploding volcanoes! The whole party went so smoothly. My daughter had a fantastic time. Thank you Amy.

Katie K

Thank you Dawn for the amazing Cook Stars birthday party for my Daughter and her friends. The girls absolutely loved every moment of it and were so happy with the cakes they made. What a fantastic and different party we had. Dawn was amazing from the first communication and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again, we are looking forward to joining more classes x

Leah H

The cook stars party was amazing, the whole experience was easy and the communication was great. Sarah responded to any questions about the party swiftly. The party itself was so smooth and well organised. My daughter and her friends were throughly engaged throughout. They all had a wonderful time, and haven’t stopped talking about it since. Sarah and her helper arrived on time, set everything up, and the activities alongside making cupcakes were great fun! The high tea was lovely, and the girls all said how delicious the hot chocolate was, the best ever according to my daughter. After the party they cleared everything up and took the washing up away. The perfect, stress free party! It was a brilliant experience and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending a cook stars birthday party.

Carys B

We had a great party with Joanna for my daughter's 9th birthday. It was the most stress-free party, and the children loved it! Would def recommend. Thanks again

On behalf of myself and the family, a massive thank you to Liz and her team for throwing such an original and unforgettable Teddy Bears Picnic and Cooking party for my son’s 6th birthday celebration! I had read Liz’s website bio, and her passion for working with children clearly shone through on the day. She and her team were absolutely amazing with a party of 26 children, and it was so lovely to see them all together, fully engaged and having so much fun cooking, eating their picnic and playing the 'find the gummy bears' game, which was definitely a hit! It’s lovely that the children are also given certificates at the end of the party too in recognition of their efforts! The parents were also impressed, saying how much their children had enjoyed themselves, were excitedly talking about the party afterwards and were ready for bath and bed when they got home!!! I also want to thank Liz and the team for being so flexible in accommodating those who arrived late so that they were still able to take part in all the fun, as they were worried they'd missed out. I would definitely recommend their services to any parents/carers/families/schools looking for a fun-filled, engaging and stand-out' children's party, and I look forward to being able to engage them again in the future!
