Who teaches

Meet the team

Nour

Founder & head instructor

Hi, I'm Nour — a lifelong kid-at-heart and passionate real-food advocate. With years of experience working with children, I created Little Spoons to give kids a hands-on, joyful introduction to the kitchen. Here, they learn how food fuels them, how to work together, take leadership, and, most of all, how fun cooking can be.

Julie

Nutritionist & Barrie instructor

Hi, I'm Julie! As a nutritionist, I've always believed that the way we eat shapes how we feel, grow, and show up in the world — and there's no better place to spark that connection than in the kitchen with kids. Cooking with children is about building confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of real, nourishing food — one delicious lesson at a time.

Reviews

What parents say

Rated 5.0 by Little Spoons families

★★★★★

"My daughter used to refuse to eat anything green. After just three classes with Little Spoons, she came home and made a salad — completely on her own. Nour has a gift for making kids feel excited about real food. We're signed up for the whole season!"

Sarah L.Barrie, ON

★★★★★

"We were a little nervous dropping off our 7-year-old for the first time, but he walked out beaming with a box of homemade pretzels and wouldn't stop talking about it for days. The ingredients are clean, the instructors are warm and patient, and the kids genuinely have a blast. Highly recommend!"

Michelle K.Barrie, ON

★★★★★

"What I love most is that they actually cook — not just stir or decorate. My son learned to make pasta from scratch at age 9! Julie is incredible with kids. Booking was easy, communication was great, and we're already signed up for the next month. This place is a hidden gem in Barrie."

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Can parents stay during class?

We kindly ask that parents don't stay during class 😊. It helps the kids focus, feel more independent, and often reduces anxiety or distraction. You'll be amazed at how confident they become on their own!

What happens if there aren't enough kids in a class?

If a class has fewer than 3 kids, we'll either refund you 100% or happily move your booking to a future date — whichever works best for you!

Can kids take home the recipes?

Absolutely! We love when kids take their recipes home 🥰. Each class includes printed recipes, and we never package hot food in plastic — only safe, kid-friendly options here.

Can I change my class after booking?

Of course! After booking, you're welcome to switch classes on your own — or just message us and we'll take care of it for you.

What if my child is anxious?

It's totally normal to feel a little nervous at first! In most cases, kids warm up quickly once they arrive and start having fun. If your child truly wants to leave, we'll give you a call right away so you can come pick them up ❤️.

What's the difference between Special Classes and Cooking School?

Special Classes are one-time, 3-hour experiences — like our Nutrition Class or Family Feast — with no commitment. The Monthly Cooking School meets once a week for the whole month, with the same small group, a new dish each week, and a personalized apron and recipe book.
