β€œThe safety locks are brilliant. She can prep on her own and I get a tap before anything hot happens.”

β€œWe use it in our after-school club. Kids beg to β€˜do cooking’ and they’re eating more veg. Win-win.”

Good questions

Things grown-ups ask us

Is it safe for my child to use alone?
Yes - within limits you set. Any step involving heat or sharp tools is locked until a grown-up taps to approve, and recipes are age-graded so kids only see what’s appropriate for them.
What ages is Sprout & Spoon for?
It’s designed for ages 5-12. Younger children get picture-led, read-aloud missions; older kids unlock more independent, multi-step recipes as they level up their cooking belt.
Do you handle food allergies?
Absolutely. Flag allergens once in the profile and we’ll hide unsafe recipes, mark warnings, and suggest safe swaps automatically across the whole cookbook.
Do we need special equipment?
No. Recipes use everyday kitchen basics, and we recommend kid-safe tools (like nylon knives and sturdy step stools) without ever requiring a purchase.
Can I cancel anytime?
Anytime, in two taps - no phone calls, no guilt. Your free Taster plan stays available even after a paid plan ends.
