A haven for youngsters
The cafe is geared towards children of up to five years of age but the classes will advertise to children aged two to four in nurseries and schools.
The marketing for these classes begins in January and Zoe is hoping schools and nurseries will want to make it a school trip destination.
Fast food is a no-go
Cafe Junior, Zoe explains, is firmly committed to healthy eating. The cafe is for grown ups with children and makes a policy not to sell food, such as fruit shoots or chips, that other children centres sell.
“We don’t use any oil, cook everything on a grill plate, do slow roasted potato wedges, chicken fajitas using no oil; everything is really healthy.”

The cafe is situated on Fanny Street in Cathays, Cardiff.
A Cathays café educates the younger generation about healthy eating habits
Cafe Junior has launched classes to teach children on vital healthy eating practices and is now planning to extend the syllabus to schools and nurseries.
The children’s cafe has set up classes, based on role play to teach children about healthy eating, which are now being advertised to nurseries and schools at the foundation learning stage.
The classes are an hour long and are based on games which include supermarket role plays, deciding what foods in front of them are unhealthy, or making their own smoothies. It is very much learning through imaginative and creative play, explains owner Zoe.
“We firmly believe in healthy eating practices and this is taking education one step further. Looking at ways towards healthy eating is a great thing to have as a class,” says Zoe.
