Any advice for centerparcs?

[Usplusone]

We are due to go to centerparcs Longleat next month and booking for activities will open soon. Can I please ask if anyone has any advice on activities, swimming, dining out etc? There will be 5 adults, 1x 3 year old and 2x 6 month olds.
Specifically - do we all have to book the same swimming slot? How fast do activities book up? Any advice on getting around the site?
Many thanks

They book up extremely quickly at the moment.
Yes you need to book swimming and soon - there are currently limits on how many times you can go.
You also need to book restaurants ASAP
Take enough clothes particularly for the babies - there’s no laundry facilities.

There’s a bus but we’ve always been near the plaza.
If your 3 year old has a scooter they can be helpful.

Yes book everything as soon as you can. I know of people setting alarms for 6am on the day the bookings open.

Thanks that's really helpful. I was worried I was being too anxious about slots booking up but now this feels justified!
Does the whole group have to book into the same swimming slot? Wording on the website seems ambiguous
