Short haul holiday with creche facility

3 replies

We're looking to go on holiday in Sept/Oct this year or May next year with DD (almost 3) and DS (currently 11 weeks) and would like to be able to put them into a kid's club/creche for a couple of hours occasionally. For the last couple of years, we've done Thomson and have found them to be user friendly but are coming up against the barrier that we want to have two ones (one for us; one for DC) and be within walking distance of restaurants as we find the all inclusive food gets pretty repetitive after a couple of days. The only other provider I'm aware of is Mark Warner but we don't want to spend £££ on them when we won't make use of the sports facilities. And most of their resorts seem to be quite isolated.
So, any other suggestions? Criteria are:

  • some childcare (from 4mo if we go this year; from 1yr if we go next year)
  • within walking distance of restaurants
  • either a family bedroom with a separate sitting room or two bedrooms
  • possibly a kitchenette if we go next year
  • generally child friendly

The Flamingo beach resort playa blanca - Lanzarote - First choice (and thomas cook)- had most of the things you've asked about - had a good kids club and had a creche but dont know what age it catered for. Maybe have a look at it!

First choice holiday villages have creche facilites. DD (4) loves them. We have been going since she was 2 (too young for kids club which starts at 3 and a bit old for the creche which is up to 36 months) but there were loads of other things she could do (swimming lessons, playground. dancing etc). We went this year as for the first time with DS who was 10 months and he did a few sessions in the creche whilst DD was at kids club. it was great - all the kids club/crche staff are english and the kids love them. they do cater very well for the small ones - only downside is it's not cheap.

We been to Egpt and turkey HV but have heard good things about the one in spain (benalmendena) or cyprus.

Pierre et Vacances take babies from 3 months at some of their resorts - and you can rent an apartment or a house.
