In practical terms, as much as possible, it is business as usual for Little Cooks Co. We have had to adjust our shipping times to accommodate high volumes of orders but all new orders are shipped within 7 days of being placed.

All our boxes are packed to the highest possible hygiene standards and our team is following the same comprehensive advice and processes as all food suppliers. Our boxes are delivered via Royal Mail and we are monitoring the advice regarding post services and deliveries closely. As a food delivery service, we do not anticipate any restrictions on our ability to fulfil orders.

Our office team is mainly made up of mums with young children, who work from home most of the time, so we already have the processes in place to ensure business continuity. If you have any specific questions please contact us at support@littlecooksco.co.uk

It goes without saying that we send huge virtual hugs to all our little cooks and big cooks – stay safe and well during this difficult time.

Your Little Cooks Co box contains all the dry ingredients you need to make the baking recipe. There are usually a few fresh or seasonal ingredients required in addition, for example milk, egg, honey or lemon juice. You will receive an email before your box is shipped to let you know the additional ingredients that are required. Hopefully this gives you enough notice, but if there is something you can’t get hold of just email us at support@littlecooksco.co.uk and we will help you find an alternative.

All our orders are shipped via Royal Mail, second class post. This means that the boxes will drop through your letterbox with your regular post. If you order additional items that do not fit through the letterbox the current policy from Royal Mail is as follows:

“for all customers (including those who are self-isolating) where we need to deliver any parcel that won’t fit through your letterbox, we will place your item at your door. Having knocked on your door, we will then step aside to a safe distance while you retrieve your item. This will ensure your item is delivered securely rather than being left outside.”

3 – 10 years old. Younger children will require more support and older children less, but whatever age they are we hope the kits give you lots of opportunities to have fun together in the kitchen making memories!

We are currently receiving large volumes of orders but will ship all boxes within 7 days of orders being placed.  We have sold out of Rocky Road boxes so we will be shipping our amazing Hot Cross Buns from April 1st. If you are desperate for a box before that you can order one of our Lovely Lemon Boxes or email us at support@littlecooksco.co.uk and we will do what we can to help.

All of the ingredients in our kits are dairy free, meat free and wheat free. We sometimes use oats which coeliacs may not be able to tolerate but otherwise we never use gluten.

The allergens we aren’t always able to cater for are eggs and nuts. However, we will let you know what is in each kit before it arrives so you have the option of skipping if it doesn’t work for you.

Our recipes do often call for a blender or food processor to blitz nuts into flour or dates into caramel!
