Childcare

Skiing Holidays – What About the Children?

Many parents give up their much enjoyed skiing holidays when their children are small – but you don’t have to! A skiing holiday is a great family holiday, fun for everyone… but that’s if childcare isn’t a problem.

Excellent childcare options are often available in ski resorts, offering quality, flexibility and reliability. Private nanny services offer the best flexibility, but it’s important to check that the nannies are trained, CRB checked etc.

Nannies based at the ski resort

The great advantages is that the nannies are based in the resort. So they know the resorts, best places to go etc. The nannies should know where to take the children for a great time in the fresh mountain air with the best sledging, snowman building, etc.

When they’re tired, your Nanny would be able to take the children back to your apartment / hotel / chalet for a nap, fun and games indoors, story time, arts and crafts and some companies offer little extras. Why not get the children to produce a fantastic scrapbook throughout the week to take back and show teachers, friends and other families!

Using a private nanny service

Having a nanny on hand gives amazing flexibility. You can have a true family holiday!

  • Bring the children to meet you for lunch
  • Midmorning hot chocolate
  • Ski lessons… and more

You are not tied to the “tour op” ski school or lesson times you choose and so long as you don’t ask the impossible (like being in two places at the same time!) your nanny will fit with all your plans and bookings.

What ages can be looked after?

Most private nanny services can look after babies from 3 months old until as old as you feel your child needs a nanny!

They do daytime care to cover your skiing time but evening babysitting is also no problem. You can ski with total peace of mind instead of worrying how your children are coping in a French creche or how nanny you brought with you is coping in this new strange environment!

A little about my company… Snow Angel Nannies

Snow Angel Nannies is a private nanny service so your ‘Angel’ (nanny) is just for you and your children – not a whole group of kids.

This has the advantage of flexibility for you, and tailor made activities for your children. Your Snow Angel nanny will be equipped with games, toys, so you only have to bring one or two favourites! Importantly she will be:

  • Qualified
  • CRB checked
  • First aid qualified
  • Hand selected by the team

Snow Angel NanniesSnow Angel Nannies operates in Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Tignes, Les Deux Alpes and Alpe d’Huez. Get in touch if you’d like more information:

Skiing holidays can be a huge success for families

Skiing holidays can be a huge success for families with children of all ages. Careful planning is necessary however to ensure that everyone has a good time and that parents holidays are not ruined by anxieties about childcare. The ideal solution is a personal family nanny, and in some resorts it is no longer necessary to take your own as local organisations such as Snow Angel Nannies in Les Deux Alps, Alpe d'Huez, La Tania, Courchevel, Meribel and Tignes will supply a suitably qualified nanny.

Having a private nanny to look after a baby means that parents can ski with easy minds. Nannies should be qualified and CRB checked and should also have a first aid qualification. The nanny will also be able to bring the baby to meet up with parents in a suitable cafe at the bottom of the slopes so that the family have extra time together and parents can reassured that all is well with the baby.

Toddlers are also best entertained by a nanny who can give them plenty of individual attention. The nanny can take your toddler out to play in the snow for as long as suits that child: they do not have to fit in with the activities planned for a group which can result in one child being cold and fed up before the session ends, whilst another had to come in before he'd finished having fun!

Older children can be dressed up for ski school, delivered there, and fetched at the end of the session by their nanny. This solves the problem of different ski school times for adults and children or time limited parental skiing. A nanny can bring older children to rendezvous with parents at mountain restaurants for lunch, or to the nursery slopes for a family ski session.

Key things to remember to take on a family ski holiday include favourite toys, a suitable buggy for babies or toddlers, and - crucially - plenty of warm, waterproof clothing including hats and gloves, sunglasses etc.

Key things to look for in a resort include suitable nursery slopes for children 4 years and above, a good child friendly ski school such as the European Ski and Snowboard School in Les Deux Alpes. Accommodation available close to the slopes, plenty of spaces for sledging/snowman building....does your chalet have a snow filled garden? Child friendly resorts include Alpe d'Huez, Les Deux Alpes, Tignes and The 3 valleys.

key things to look for in a nanny service include the qualifications of the nannies, CRB checking, First aid training. Flexibility is also an advantage - will the nanny arrive early/late to suit your plans for the day, and will they fin in with your wishes to bring the children to meet you for lunches/hot chocolates? Will the nanny, if you wish, take over the task of getting children dressed up for ski school and deliver/collect them? Are the pre-booking arrangements satisfactory? can you meet your nanny the day you arrive to discuss your child or children's individual needs?

Les Deux Alpes

Today the glacier is shut due to high winds but it should have snowed a little up there so tomorrows skiing is looking good!

Customer Feedback

What a lovely email....Matt, Liz, Chris and Sarah I"ll be looking forward to seeing you again next winter!!!!

"Not enough people these days give good feedback so I wanted to thank and congratulate you.

We booked online and booking in at the ski school office in Les Deux Alpes on arrival was easy, efficient and pleasant.

There were four in our party and we all booked on level 1 snowboarding in a private lesson. We were allocated Alex as our instructor and one of our lesson times was changed to ensure we were with Alex for all three days which I found very thoughtful.

Alex was an excellent excellent instructor and I would certainly recommend her to anyone else be they boarders or skiers as I know she does both. She was patient and we were all at slightly different levels, (unbeknnown to us) made the lessons fun and pushed us to do better and better.

If we revisit L2A we'll be booking back with Alex! (Not sure whether she'd be happy to see us again through!!)

Many Many Thanks

Matt (&Liz&Chris&Sarah)

To book on line please follow this link and request Alex!
