Where curious kids
learn to build with code

Concrete, finished projects they can show you — not just a certificate. Depending on the course, your child will leave able to:

• Build and code their own Minecraft or Roblox game from scratch
• Program a Sphero or LEGO robot to complete real-world challenges
• Write working Python programs — the language used by Google, NASA and Netflix
• Design and build a simple app or website
• Think through any problem — tech or otherwise — in a logical, structured way

Every child leaves with a portfolio of real work. Many go on to win coding competitions, excel at GCSE Computer Science, and — more importantly — genuinely love problem-solving.

Most of our students start as complete beginners, and a big chunk are naturally quiet or a bit nervous on day one. Our small class sizes (typically 6–8 children per instructor) mean no one gets lost in the crowd, and our tutors are experienced at drawing children in at their own pace.

We take rising 7s as our standard minimum age. The day is fun but the learning is genuinely intense, so we ask that children are able to follow instructions and work fairly independently.

That said, every child is different. If your child is a little younger but you think they'd get a lot out of it, talk to us — we do take younger students when they're ready, and we'll give you an honest view before you book.

School coding is usually one hour a week of Scratch, shared between 30 children, often taught by a non-specialist. It's a great introduction — but it rarely goes deep.

At Code Kids your child works in small groups with specialist tutors, using real tools (Python, robotics, game engines) on ambitious projects. They don't just tick a curriculum box — they build things they're proud of. Parents often tell us their child's confidence at school jumps noticeably within a term.

Yes — and many parents specifically seek us out for this reason. Coding and robotics suit a lot of neurodiverse children beautifully: the logical structure, hands-on building, and clear cause-and-effect feedback of writing code often click in a way classroom learning doesn't.

Many of our tutors have experience with neurodiverse learners, and we match children carefully. Tell us about your child before booking and we'll make sure they're in the right group with the right tutor.

We don't offer trial sessions — our courses are project-based and each session builds on the last, so a standalone taster wouldn't give your child (or you) a fair sense of what we do.

Instead, we offer something better: on the very rare occasions a child turns out not to be suited to a course, we'll issue a refund. Book with confidence.

Two things: our tutors and our approach.

Our tutors are experienced professionals and educators — people who know the tech inside out and have the skill to build genuine rapport with children and inspire a love of learning. That combination is rare, and it's what parents tell us makes the biggest difference.

And we don't teach coding in a vacuum. Every project is rooted in a real-world theme — building Ancient Egypt in Minecraft, recreating the Apollo missions, designing a sustainable city — and children write the code to bring these worlds to life. They're not just learning syntax; they're learning to design, plan, build and solve problems the way real engineers and scientists do.

Languages and platforms change — how you think doesn't. Your child will leave Code Kids able to tackle an unfamiliar problem, work out what's actually being asked, break it down into manageable pieces, and solve it step by step.

That skill transfers directly to computing, engineering, science, maths — and, frankly, to every job that will exist in 20 years. We teach coding because it's the best tool in the world for learning how to think clearly.

Real tools, real skills — delivered through platforms kids love:

• Python — the world's most in-demand programming language
• Block-based coding — for younger beginners building foundations
• Minecraft & Roblox game design — coding their own games and worlds
• Sphero robotics — programming real robots to solve challenges
• LEGO robotics — building machines from scratch and coding them, developing innovation and out-of-the-box thinking
• AI concepts — understanding how modern AI works and how to use it responsibly
• App and web development — for more advanced students

Experienced professionals and educators — a mix of qualified teachers, Computer Science graduates and industry developers. Every tutor is enhanced DBS-checked, safeguarding-trained, and selected for something just as important as technical skill: the ability to connect with children and make learning genuinely fun.

We don't use gap-year students or untrained volunteers. Your child is learning from people who know both the tech and how to teach it.

Small groups — typically 6–8 children per tutor — so every child gets attention and support. No one gets left behind and no one gets bored waiting.

Yes — parents can speak to tutors at any time. We believe the best outcomes come from open communication between parents, tutors and the Code Kids team. Whether you want a quick chat about how your child is getting on, or have a specific concern to raise, just ask and we'll arrange it.

All our camps use our private Code Kids messaging app — a secure, direct channel between parents and the Code Kids team. You can send a quick message about pickup timings, dietary changes, or anything else, and we'll reply fast. No more waiting on hold or wondering if an email was seen.

Camps start at 10am and finish at 3pm or 4pm depending on the venue and age group. Early drop-off and late pick-up options are available at most locations.

Structured coding and robotics sessions, hands-on team projects, breaks for lunch and snacks, and end-of-camp showcases where children demo what they've built to parents.

All equipment and software is provided — including:

• iPads and laptops pre-loaded for each child
• Licensed software — Minecraft Education, Roblox Studio, Python environments, Blockbench and more
• Robotics kits — LEGO SPIKE Prime and Sphero robots
• All project materials, worksheets and take-home certificates

Parents just bring the child and the packed lunch — we handle the rest.

A nut-free packed lunch, a water bottle and enthusiasm. We supply everything else.

Camps run for ages 6–14, grouped by age and ability so every child is appropriately challenged and working with peers at a similar level.

Most children who come to a camp go on to join our term-time classes to keep building on what they've learned. We'll send you a personalised recommendation after your child's camp based on what they enjoyed most.

Online camps run 9am to 12 noon each day. Shorter than in-person camps, but laser-focused — children cover the same material in a more intensive block.

The coding content is identical. The difference is pace and style: online is concentrated and focused — ideal for children who thrive with deep, uninterrupted work. In-person has more time built in for social interaction, team-based projects and collaborative builds.

A laptop or desktop computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam and a quiet space to work. We'll send software instructions ahead of the camp.

Yes. All sessions run on secure platforms with a qualified, DBS-checked tutor present throughout, cameras on for all participants, and clear behaviour expectations. Parents are welcome to sit in at any time.

Classes run weekly for 60–90 minutes, grouped into half-term or full-term blocks. Each block works toward a project outcome — a finished game, a programmed robot, a working app — so children always have something tangible to show for their learning.

Both teach the same material. In-person suits children who learn best through collaboration, team projects and social buzz. Online suits children who focus well independently and want a more intensive, distraction-free session.

Yes. Our curriculum is designed so new students can join at any point and quickly get up to speed. We'll make sure they're settled in.

No homework is required — most of our families wouldn't have time for it anyway. But many children get hooked and want to carry on at home. We share project files and suggestions so they can tinker between sessions if they want to.

No problem — we share session recaps and project files so your child can catch up easily. Tutors are also happy to give a quick refresher at the next session.

We run clubs at schools across London and the home counties. Check our locations page, or ask your school office — many schools book our clubs directly, and we can always approach a new school on your behalf.

Get in touch and we'll contact the school directly. We handle everything — curriculum, risk assessments, equipment, DBS-checked staff — so schools can say yes without adding workload to their team.

The same high-quality curriculum as our external classes — Python, Minecraft, Roblox, Sphero and LEGO robotics — tailored to the time slot available (typically 45–60 minutes) and grouped by age.

Yes — every tutor is enhanced DBS-checked and safeguarding-trained. No exceptions.

All online sessions run on secure platforms with cameras on, clear behaviour guidelines, and a qualified tutor present at all times. Parents are welcome to sit in whenever they like.

Sessions are structured with regular breaks. In-person camps deliberately mix screen-based coding with hands-on robotics and unplugged team challenges, so children aren't staring at a monitor all day.

Head to our booking page, pick the course that fits your child, and check out online. Pricing for each course, camp and club is shown clearly at the point of booking. You'll get instant confirmation by email.

Full refunds if you cancel more than 14 days before the course starts. After that, we'll credit your account or transfer your booking to another date where possible. And on the rare occasions a child turns out not to be suited to a course, we'll issue a refund.

Yes — we offer sibling and multi-course discounts. Contact us and we'll sort it.

Parents receive regular progress updates, and children build a portfolio of real projects they can show off at home. You'll see the learning in action — not just hear about it.

Yes. Our classes build the Python, logic and computational thinking skills that underpin KS3 and GCSE Computer Science — giving students a significant head start when they reach secondary school.

Yes. Our advanced pathways cover Python, app development, AI and game design for students ready to push further. Get in touch and we'll find the right level together.
