Our Place

Kids Cooking Club has been carefully planned, designed and organised with dedication, imagination, enthusiasm and specialist knowledge. Alongside the passion, expertise and vision of our founder, Kyriakos Melas, we brought together an experienced team of architects, interior designers, educators and other specialists. Together, they created thoughtfully designed facilities that inspire children’s creativity, support their safety and the smooth running of our activities, while offering parents a comfortable place to relax and enjoy their visit.

 

Our building is independent and peaceful, with a welcoming garden and spaces specially adapted to the needs of children and their carers. Carefully chosen design and balanced colours encourage a love of cooking. Environmentally friendly materials are used throughout, and the space allows freedom of movement while retaining a cosy atmosphere. It evokes the emotional warmth of a family home and inspires children’s culinary and gastronomic explorations.

 

 

THE KITCHEN

This is the special kingdom of our young cooks! We have carefully designed it so that they can use it, manage it and feel it is truly their own. Everything here meets their needs. The specialist equipment accommodates the heights of different age groups. We want children to move comfortably and easily during every activity and feel that, at last, there is a kitchen their size where they can experiment, make mistakes freely and learn. All surfaces are safe and antimicrobial (Kanelli technology), without sharp edges and designed with children in mind. The same applies to our appliances. From induction hobs, the oven and fridge to cupboards, tables and chairs, our equipment uses the latest Miele technology and is designed to support safety, ergonomics and enjoyable activities. As for our utensils and tools, we are proud of the exclusive selection used and offered by our school. Adults especially admire our knives, which cut food without cutting fingers! Colourful and cheerful, made of lightweight plastic and other innovative materials, they are easy for small hands to use, clean and store. They sharpen children’s motor skills, encourage initiative and help them carry out tasks. Children become familiar with kitchen equipment safely, taking their knowledge, respect and willingness to cook home with them.

 

 

SPACES FOR CHILDREN’S EXPRESSION AND IMAGINATION

At Kids Cooking Club, learning takes place beyond the kitchen too! We have created two separate spaces where children can relax and express themselves artistically through cooking-related activities. Here, our specialists use movement, music and educational activities to help children absorb culinary learning naturally. Can you imagine a recipe prepared in the kitchen becoming a movement-based game through clay or painting? Our young chefs can find their own inner space, play and communicate through expressive educational activities. Guided movement offers a learning break that benefits both body and mind. We are chefs, but above all, we are children!

 

 

BATHROOMS

Separate bathrooms for children and adults, of course! Everything in the children’s bathroom has been planned for easy use, safety and hygiene. Our DHS (Drop Hygiene Systems) equipment, child-friendly floor and wall materials and safe doors show our care extends beyond the kitchen. Our educators are happy to accompany any child who needs help and guide them in learning bathroom routines.

 

 

GARDEN & INDOOR WAITING AREA

Adults often tell us they may enjoy Kids Cooking Club as much as their children! In our spacious garden when the weather is good, or in our comfortable foyer, you can relax, browse the reading material we provide or chat with other parents and carers. We offer coffee or another drink from a wide selection, accompanied by delicious, handmade and wholesome treats. You might even be pleasantly surprised by a wonderful dessert made without sugar! Remember that sharing the approach to food and cooking we teach your children helps reinforce their learning.
