So, how do you think you’ll be using Netflix over the summer holidays to entertain your family and enjoy time together? Are your DCs winding down by watching their favourite show after a big day out? Are the grandparents and kids bonding over a shared love for Toy Story 3? Is Netflix providing some much-needed respite on a rainy day? What else has been keeping your children happy in the holidays? Whatever it is, Netflix would love to hear about it.

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £250 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

I don't use it a lot - just when it is horrible weather and the kids just want to sit and watch a good movie. I sometimes watch a movie when the kids are all in bed and there is nothing much on tv!

I have not used up to now but have read some excellent reviews and comments so will be using. We love watching movies and playing a game - such as key words. We might for example watch a movie and see how many emotions a certain character shows. Good fun and educational

I have 3 children, 2 boys, 1 aged 8 and the other 6 so they like the same shows, I have a nearly 2 year old little girl who is happy watching anything so is very easy. My kids love to watch netlflx in their room when they are just going to bed its great as they have lots of choices and there is no messing about with dvds etc.

What on Earth did we do before tablets and Netflix ? We love to go to Scotland on holiday - not the no. 1 destination for sulky teenagers! Netflix is a lifesaver!

My little boy watches all his program's on Netflix through my ipad

We watch all the kids programmes snuggled up with my 6 year old and 18 mth old daughters. We love a good movie too.

We like to watch documentaries on Netflix, and my 11-year-old daughter will happily watch them with us, though she likes to watch the newest releases as well.

My son's are watching the superhero's movies

A film night, so making a real family activity out of it trying to mimic the cinema experience.

We don't have Netflix yet, but from reading the comments (above), we are definitely going to subscribe!

It sounds amazing.

Watching Horrid Henry and the Princess diaries in the evening before bedtime a couple of evening a week.

We love to have some movie times during the school holidays as bedtimes are more flexible so Netfix gives us a great choice of family movies, so far this month we've watched Avengers Assemble, Cars, Grown Ups, The Hobbit and my teenage son can stream them to his room through his xboc if he has friends over. Netflix is the perfect family entertainment

My 2 like to watch at bedtime to settle down Netflix is a god send ??

To watch arrested development early hours if baby wants a feed from me

Oh netfilx, what can i say, well if i watch anymore Barney i may cry! lol, no but really we love Netflix in our house, if there's nothing on tv then on goes Netflix. mornings are usually Winx, Barney or Dora for my youngest and my eldest love's total drama island and Johnny test. We love Netflix movie nights where we snuggle up on sofa an watch tangled over and over again......we know every word!! Not kidding :)

great way to gather around for home movie experience [with popcorn] wherever you happen to be!

My kids love Sponge Bob and could watch episodes all day!

I don't use Netflix yet but I'm going to join as I'd love to watch Orange is the new Black. I've seen so many adverts & interviews with the cast & it sounds really good fun

We have started using it to discover new shows as the kids programmes on tv are constant repeats, rainy days indoors are ideal for this.

netflix is a joy on a rainy day! I love the fact that the kids can have their own profile while I can keep my recommendations 'kid-free'!! my 6 year old especially likes watching all the disney princess movies on there! while I get to watch all my favorite chick flicks without my husband moaning and we get to watch all the super hero movies together! a perfect combination!

It's a lifesaver for long journeys!

Some good action films to keep the whole family entertained

My son and daughter take turns to vote on the movies we watch as a family. I'm working through Orange is the new black.

lots of series and family films we all love the muppets!

My oldest two love Netflix as there is always something for them to watch . At the moment we've been catching up on the kids films , they really love them
