New year ski trip - where to look for chalet

We are sorting our own flight but hoping to book a chalet and private nanny for the week of 30th Dec. Ideally we want a chalet not a chalet hotel / larger hotel but might have to consider that too due to it being late to book. I have so far looked at:

Le Ski (used a lot before but reluctant to go back to same place for 3rd time! also only doing 4 night break at this time.
Neilson (very limited choice)
Ski Famille (Quite good but very expensive)
Ski beat - Best options so far but unsure if very child friendly?
Family ski (not sure how snow sure their resorts are as quite low)
VIP - not doing this week (doing 4 night break at this time)

Can i have some suggestions for other companies to look at? We are looking for fully catered :-)

Thanks

If you're doing your own flights anyway how about Ice and Fire (www.ice-fire.co.uk) - they're family friendly and are doing those dates for new year.

Have you tried Powder 'n' Shine? //www.powderandshine.com or the Alpine Club, //www.thealpineclub.co.uk?

If money is no object Powder Byrne or Scott Dunn.

Are you booking for next month? Or 12+months? There'll be very limited availability in snow-guaranteed resorts for next month during the Xmas holidays - that books up fast!

Some years ago now but when we went with small children we found ski beat to be easily the best for children. The nannies were excellent and the chalet staff welcomed them.
