- Best experienced as a full 8-session intake, but individual sessions may be booked.
- A full module refers to 1 continuous intake — sessions from different intakes cannot be combined to make up 8 sessions.
- 48 hours’ notice is required for any absence. No make-up class if cancellation is within 48 hours of the class.
- If a class does not meet the minimum number of participants, or due to unforeseen circumstances, Goldknight reserves the right to reschedule or cancel. In such cases, a refund (minus any discounts) will be made at the school’s discretion.
- Class availability is not guaranteed until booking is confirmed and minimum class size is reached.
Our chefs will supervise and guide your child closely to ensure safety and completion of all recipes. However, if a child chooses not to follow instructions (e.g. running in the studio despite reminders), Gold Knight will not be held responsible for any accidents or resulting medical costs.
If your child requires extra supervision, you are welcome to stay — please inform us in advance so we can make space.
Children will be asked to remain in the studio during breaks. There is a public playground opposite the studio but there will be no supervision. Anyone using it does so at their own risk.
This Junior Chef Series is a wonderful way to let your child learn, create, make friends and shine in the kitchen 💛
