Exercise in Disguise!

At Gambado, we are just as much about promoting a healthy lifestyle as we are about having fun!  When you're young, you don't care about what's better for you or what you should be doing - it's all about what tastes great and what you want to do!

We say - let's do both!
Our age specific play frames encourage both adults and children to climb, run, jump, slide and generally tire themselves out whilst having lots of fun! What's more, according to scientists at Boston University, short busts of exercise, lasting less than ten minutes each day give you the same health benefits as slugging it out at the gym for hours!

Older family members can encourage exercise for kids by taking on a more active lifestyle themselves, it has been suggested.

Elaine Sawetz, a fitness and obesity consultant, said: "Children who see their parents, grandparents and carers following a healthy and active lifestyle tend to join in and learn by example. These habits become a normal part of everyday life for the whole family." She pointed out that by being more active on a regular basis children can avoid several health complications such as diabetes and other diseases in adult life. Any type of activity as long as it has kids moving around and spending energy is adequate to achieve this, she added.

Additionally, Gambado's cafe serves a selection of healthy meals as we feel it is important to offer healthy meal options to help the little ones grow. Instead of chips, why not opt to have your kids' lunch with a half jacket potato and peas instead of beans? We also stock a range of traditional kids meals, produced by Miniscoff that meet dietary requirements for children. 
Miniscoff  make proper, grown-up,organic meals for children aged from 12 months and above.

"100% organic, 100% nutrition, 100% yum!". 

Here's just a little snippet from their website:

"Big food companies tend to use great big machines that knock all the stuffing (and the goodness) out of the ingredients. At our Scoff Central Kitchens we keep our batch sizes small and cook everything by hand, using chefs not machines. When we've finished, each meal is frozen really quickly to lock in all the goodness naturally, until the day you need it.

What IS in our food:

• 100% organic ingredients (approved by the Soil Association)
• Premium cut meats from only the best British producers
• Locally sourced vegetables wherever possible
• ALL the love and attention you'd put in if you made it yourself"

What's NOT in our food:

• NO preservatives to make the meal last longer

• NO artificial additives (it's all REAL)

• NO colouring

• NO fillers

• NO GMOs

• NO sweetners

• NO unecessary salt or sugar (just enough and not too much)

• NO reconstituted meats EVER

• NO traffic lights or cart wheels

• NO nonsense, no guilt, no hassle

With all this in mind and after a recent introduction of brand new Single Child and Family Memberships as well as the Autumn weather approaching, what better way to promote a healthy lifestyle than a visit to Gambado? 

We can't wait to see you! :)
