Cooking in Schools & Nurseries

At Three Bears Cookery Club we are passionate about teaching children how to cook, giving children the opportunity to explore foods, tastes & textures.  We believe that all children should have an opportunity to learn how to cook, this is an important life skill for children to learn.

What our Schools Say:

“The Three Bears Cookery Club has been a wonderful addition to our after school provision at Hilton Primary Academy. In our fifth term, pupils are given the opportunity to make delicious sweet and savoury dishes, teaching them many important skills across the curriculum, whilst providing plenty of good old fashioned fun!”

Miss Wilkes, Hilton Primary School

“Having invited Three Bears Cookery Club to run an after school club at our school, we were amazed by the impact on our pupils. The team from Three Bears brought all equipment and resources with them and ran the club without the need for school staff support. The club was implemented as part of our Essential Life Skills provision and the effects on our pupils, and their families reached far beyond our expectations. The pupils prepared a variety of meals and snacks, taking them home in oven-ready containers that listed the recipe and cooking instructions. Parents reported that meal times had become an ‘exciting, shared experience’ and that their children had a ‘new found love of food and cooking’. What more could we ask for? I cannot recommend Three Bears Cookery enough.”
