Toddler Chef  is a parent and toddler group designed to help parents with the age-old problem of getting their children to eat the right foods.

Our programme uses tried-and-tested techniques, encouraging children to enjoy their meals and develop a healthy and positive attitude towards eating.

At Toddler Chef we sing about food, we talk about food – and most importantly we make food! All of it with a healthy angle and a big emphasis on FUN. Friends are made, encouragement is plentiful and we’re big on rewards for kids who try new tasting experiences. Just as important, we offer parents tips and a chance for them to share experiences – good and bad! - with each other.

It’s a place to indulge in ‘messy play’ - without YOU having to clear up the mess afterwards! It enables your child to touch, smell and sample a variety of fresh foods. Where possible we source ingredients locally and organically. We also talk about where food comes from and how it grows. We're big on good table manners and what ‘eating out’ at Big Restaurants is all about. Our programme even includes languages and phonetics as well as music and rhythm (with our Foodie Songs!) We offer 'field trips' ( to farms, supermarkets - even restaurants) - and these are all included in the termly fee. Most importantly, the workshops help develop a toddler’s own palate – maybe you’ll be surprised at just what they’ll eat (particularly with Ollie Onion's encouragement and the desire to copy their peers) Call us biased but we believe Toddler Chef is the most exciting and innovative Parent and Toddler Group you can join - setting your child up with skills for life and a real passion for food. In turn, you'll be armed with all those tricks up your sleeve that will out-smart even the fussiest of eaters!
