Munchkins After school clubs for 4-11 year olds are perfect for fussy eaters (who are encouraged to try new foods), Keen cooks (who can get hands on and messy in the kitchen!) and Budding chefs (who develop their skills and confidence!).

• Tuesdays (General - 4-11 year olds) 4-5.30pm
• Wednesdays (Beginners 4-7 year olds) 4-5.30pm
• Thursdays (Advanced – 8-11 year olds) 4-5.30pm

Over the term children cover different aspects of healthy eating and cookery techniques through dynamic, hands on sessions. Children work in ability groups, gaining certificates for their progress. At the end of each lesson children will take home what they have made. Parents are invited at the end of term for a certificate ceremony and to taste the results of their children's hard work!

Since 2005 we have been developing our Munchkins kids holiday workshops to be the perfect mix of fun and learning, creativity and skills development!

Munchkins workshops are ideal for 4-11 year olds and our differentiated activities are designed to keep kids focussed and entertained throughout the school holidays!

Summer Holidays – During the Summer we offer week-long courses which kids can attend for full or half days. We aim to encourage children’s enjoyment of cooking through lots of hands-on preparation, tasting and experimenting. Summer 2010 involved 6 action-packed weeks of holiday workshops on different themes including ‘Food from the stories of Roald Dahl’, ‘Munchkins Baking School’ and ‘Food from around the World’. Check out the dates and bookings page for details of our summer 2011 programme.

Christmas Holidays – Christmas is the ideal time to indulge in cooking for fun! At each workshop children bake delicious festive goodies to take home and share, as well as cooking up their own nutritious lunch or tea. They’ll also get stuck into Christmas-themed games, crafts and activities. Check out the dates and bookings page for more details.

Half Term Holidays – Every half term Munchkins offers a week-long cookery course on a different theme. Kids can do the whole week or just a day. These workshops are a great introduction to cooking for beginners, and a chance for more experienced little chefs to have fun developing their skills and learning new recipes!
