What You need to know

Sherwoods Park Hall’s Kids Cooking Club is part of our “Merton Eats Healthy Eating campaign” the club not only equips children with lifelong skills but also nurtures creativity, teamwork, and curiosity—building healthier, happier, and more open-minded young people for the future.

A key part of the program is exploring foods from around the world, introducing children to different nationalities and cultures through their traditional dishes. This helps promote acceptance, appreciation, and respect for diversity, showing how food brings people together across cultures.

In addition, the club directly addresses childhood obesity by making healthy eating fun and accessible. By learning to cook fresh, balanced meals, children are empowered to make better food choices at home and in school.

COOKING IS HEALTHY FUN AND LEARNING ABOUT OTHER CULTURES!

Our Kids Cooking Club is designed to inspire children to enjoy the art of cooking while learning valuable lessons about health, nutrition, and culture. In a fun and engaging environment, children will prepare simple, healthy, and delicious meals that introduce them to new flavors and build confidence in the kitchen.

Empowering the Next Generation of Chefs

By moving beyond the basics, we provide a masterful foundation where children don’t just follow a recipe—they discover the chemistry of flavors and the joy of creating something from scratch. This vibrant program is a cornerstone of our mission to foster wholesome habits early in life. As they chop, stir, and season, children develop essential life skills that extend far beyond the stovetop, including teamwork, patience, and a profound respect for global traditions.

Our collaborative sessions are carefully curated to be the highlight of their week. We believe that when a child understands the transformative journey from farm to fork, they are empowered to make healthier choices for a lifetime. Whether they are mastering a sensational seasonal salad or baking heartfelt treats to share, every student leaves with a sense of extraordinary achievement. At Sherwood Park Hall, we are dedicated to turning every meal into a captivatinglesson in togetherness, ensuring that the “wow” moments they experience in our kitchen inspire a thriving, healthy future for the entire family.
