Supporting Mothers
The Sourdough School has been created by Vanessa, who began The School when her children were very little. With 3 children and a business to run Vanessa is more than aware of the demands made on mothers, so we are a friendly and comfortable place for mothers. We try with all people connected to The Sourdough School, from suppliers and team members, club members and students to ensure that we are as flexible as possible to allow mums to do all the things that are needed of them whilst still being part of the Sourdough School.
