... with a crawler and 2 under 4 between us.

Now minus my idea of getting a separate villa just for me and my wine...

Anyone who has been what would make life easier with toddlers and a baby?

We have got 2 good walkers and an umbrella fold buggy for the baby.

Any tips?
Things to bring?
Things to do?
I'm thinking swimming, nature trails, all else fails chuck them in soft play at the sports cafe?

Probably wont be eating out in the evenings.

(Please tell me it will be ok?)

I am sure you will be fine. I would recommend taking all the food you are likely to need as the shop was poorly stocked and expensive. But that was at Oasis 10 years ago.

Enjoy.

We went to Longleat last year with my DD who was 20months and a friends DD's (5 and 9) Smile we hired one of the bikes with a trailer for the youngest 2 which really helped as it can be quite hilly in places
They all loved the pool area and the sandy bit down by the lake (get some fish food they loved feeding the fish!) and we spent quite a bit of time at the sports bar place too and the little kiosk place there does lovely ice cream Grin

I forgot to mention we did an animal experience thing which they all loved too I think it was called animal magic (it said 3+ but my DD was fine with it) and the pottery painting was fun too Smile

I would recommend taking your own disposable barbecues rather than buying them from the parcmarket as they didn't seem to burn very well!

Bucket and spade - lots of the playgrounds seem to have sand at the other CP we've been to.

We took food that could deal with the journey, but not milk, meat etc. Extra cheep bread to feed the wildlife!

Waterproofs incase you get a wet week!

Would anyone bike or scoot? If so, take those.

Your plan is pretty much what we did - over 4 days. You there longer?

Thanks everyone
There for 4 days
Will definitely take water proofs and bucket and spades

None of ours would bike or scoot, just a bit little.

I'm hoping the land train will be exciting for them. It has the word train in!

Will look into animal magic

Will add BBQ to list and pack cheap bread

Can you get fish food there?

I'd get a bike and trailer but I am too unfit! I couldn't cycle with 2 toddlers in the back!
