Cook Stars offers structured sessions that centre around children making their own delicious dishes from scratch

I have over 10 years experience working in Early Years settings as a qualified Nursery Nurse and progressing on to becoming a Nursery Manager. After having a break from full time work as my daughter started school, five years on, now is the right time to return to what I enjoy.

I have always enjoyed baking with my daughter, as soon as she could hold a spoon the fun started! My daughter inspired me to investigate this business as she has always said I should teach children how to cook, so here I am!

As well as cooking with my daughter I always enjoyed cooking sessions at nursery as part of my job. The main difference for me now is that with Cook Stars classes every child has their own equipment to use we are not passing one bowl round a group of 4-6 children to take it in turns to mix and add ingredients. Every child has their own ingredients to make their own dish to take home. There are many learning opportunities during our classes such as maths skills with weighing and measuring ingredients, hand eye coordination by mixing, cutting, grating, social skills and language skills as we encourage conversation during the session, and we work together. Our sessions boost a child's self-esteem and confidence every child is supported with learning new skills, and they are proud of what they have made at the end of the session. By having regular sessions, the children's confidence grows as they become more confident with the skills they have learnt. This for me is invaluable and fantastic life skills learnt!

I am looking forward to working with as many schools, nurseries, pre-schools, charities as I can. The sessions are so much fun!
