Charley's Little Kitchen in Hove

The first step to eating healthily is understanding food and how to cook it. Being able to knock up a meal from basic ingredients is becoming a rare ability and parents don’t necessarily have the time to spend the extra hours in the kitchen allowing the kids to make the mistakes and chaos that inevitably ensues. Leave that to a rainy Sunday and let us do the hard work for you!

At Charley's Little Kitchen children get to taste, touch, smell and most importantly cook loads of different foods. Our recipes are based around essential cooking skills and knowledge, learning about where food comes from as well as what you can turn it into. Interactive quizzes, games and taste testing get children involved in new foods, you may be surprised at what they come home liking. 

Cooking is not only a fantastic way to fine tune motor skills, but also enhances mathematical abilities and literacy. Following recipes, measuring out ingredients and using their hand-eye coordination gets kids learning without even realising it!

Weekly Classes

2.15 - 3.15 Parents and Preschool 

Kids, bring your parents along to a fun filled hour of cooking and mess (which they don't have to clear up!) Every week we'll be exploring food using all our senses and you'll go home with your treats to show off and enjoy.
 

3.40 - 5.30 After School Grub!

Join us after school as we teach you how to make amazing meals from scratch. Learn all about food, where it comes from and what you can turn it into. Try new ingredients and most importantly have fun! You don't need to bring anything; if we don't eat what we make, we'll provide you with plenty of healthy snacks to keep you going till you get home. 

Holiday Workshops

Our holiday workshops are for children aged 7 - 11 years. During the day children get to make their own lunch, try loads of new flavours, make a healthy afternoon snack and come home with at least one creation to show off to friends and family. Every participant also receives a certificate of achievement, skills and knowledge sheets and recipes to try out at home. See our website for more information and how to book. 

Parties

Charley's Little Kitchen offers cookery parties for children aged 4 years old and up. All you need is a space to hold it and we'll do all the hard work for you. With the food and activities sorted, all you need to do is put your feet up and watch the kids have fun. For all abilities, we'll design the party specially for you, so whether you want a sparkly cake decorating party or a three course meal, we'll be happy to help. 

Children's parties last from 2 - 4 hours. We provide all the equipment, ingredients and aprons for the day as well as paper chef's hats and party bags to take home.
