Bake N Play: Ofsted-Registered Cookery Provision for Schools and Nurseries – Delivering Playful, Structured and Impactful Learningt.

Why Schools and Nurseries love partnering with us

At Bake N Play, we believe cooking and baking go far beyond ingredients and recipes – they are powerful tools for lifelong learning and child development.

Our Ofsted-registered programmes are thoughtfully designed to support every child and every setting.

For nurseries and reception pupils, we deliver structured, term-time cooking workshops and classes that align with early years curriculum goals, combining hands-on learning with creativity and exploration.

For primary schools, we partner with leadership teams to enhance pupil engagement, wellbeing, and enrichment through high-quality after-school clubs and in-school workshops and sessions.

Across all our programmes, children are guided to develop essential life skills – including teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and leadership. Whether through collaborative challenges like our Mini Bake Off experiences or exploring the science and maths behind baking, each session is designed to deliver measurable developmental impact.

Just as importantly, children build confidence, independence, and meaningful friendships along the way.

At Bake N Play, baking becomes a unique intersection of learning and play – where maths meets creativity, science meets enjoyment, and every child is supported to thrive.

What set us apart?


Give your children the confidence to thrive at school – and in life.

We don’t just deliver cooking sessions -we deliver curriculum-linked enrichment experiences that support children’s learning, wellbeing, and life skills development.


At Bake N Play by Dolce Senso, we combine the joy of cooking with structured, curriculum-aligned learning that supports EYFS, KS1 and KS2 outcomes.

  • - Angela -

    My 7yo daughter has been going to the Dolce Senso Baking after school club for the last year and a half. She LOVES the class and the teacher, Diyana. She has gained so many skills - Independently reading and following directions in a recipe, measuring ingredients, mixing and chopping. This class has fostered her passion for baking and has given her so much confidence.
