What sets us apart
Choosing the right cooking lessons for your children is a big decision. We understand your concerns and strive to provide an exceptional experience that puts your mind at ease. Here’s what makes Squashed Tomatoes Club different:
Fully inclusive approach
We cater to all abilities, ensuring every child can participate and succeed. Our lessons are designed to be adaptable, creating a supportive environment for everyone.
Food you'll love to eat
Out goes old hard scones full of sugar and in comes fresh ingredients with plenty of fresh vegetables, accompanied by rice and pasta dishes. We focus on creating dishes that are not only fun to make but also delicious and nutritious for the whole family to enjoy. Adults no longer have to pretend to like the food, you genuinely will!
Prioritizing safeguarding
We understand the importance of safeguarding. Our lessons are carefully supervised and we maintain a safe and supportive environment. With a few safety innovations unique to Squashed Tomatoes you can be safe in the knowledge that your children are being educated in a protective environment. All staff have food hygiene certification, first aid certification, fully enhanced DBS check's and are trained in de-escalation and intervention techniques.
