 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
Does anybody know of any really good childminders in Austria or France who will look after kids for the afternoon? I want my 5 year old to ski in the mornings and then have a nanny/ childminder in the afternoon. I am not keen on putting her in a creche with lots of sick kids. My son was really ill in a ski creche one year. The nanny must speak excellent English. Or if such a thing as a kids club exists where they can ski and play in the same place, that would be great.
Thanks

sueyou, most ski schools in Austria take children from about 3 (if toilet trained) and definitely from 4 and have them in a ski kindergarten where they ski, play, eat and sleep if the want to. They instructors are often trained Kindergarten teachers/nurses and if the resort is international, they have to be able to speak English well and often another language.
I can recommend many resorts with these kind of facilities, so when do you want to go and where?

If you could tell me about some of the ones in Austria that you have tried, that would be great please. The names of the ski schools and resorts would be great if you have them.
Thanks!

The Arlberg Ski Schule in St Anton does that (although usually for younger kids, generally five year olds would be back out skiing after the lunch break - I'm sure you could arrange something with them though). Would also let you ski the best resort in Austria

Thanks for info about Arlberg Ski Schule. I don't see anything on their web site which says where kids can go other than for the 2 + 2 hours of ski lessons and lunch.
Is there somewhere in the ski school that they look after kids when they are not skiing? Or do they have to go to a separate kindergarten?

There's a play area inside, by the lunch area, and a snow kindergarten/play area thing (for skiing mind) out the front. Hoppl the giant rabbit will come round with sweets and stuff too. If you tell them what you want, they'll sort you out - when I was teaching there often kids would get picked up at lunch to ski with their 'rents in the afternoon.
