Hi,
New to this forum and looking for advice!
We are a group of 9 family and friends who have skied together for a number of years and are heading to Morzine on 14th March 2009, taking children with us for the first time.
We are booked to stay at L%26#39;Aplin Lodge chalet which is due to open in December and is run by The Mountain Lodge Company who already have another chalet in the resort, Les 4 Vents. Does anybody have any experience of them?
The children coming with us will be 6 and 11 months when we go. Are there any recommendations on which ski school would be best for the 6 year old (she has never skied before). And any recommendations on any of the childcare companies in Morzine and whether we would be better off using one of the English run nanny services Cheeky Monkeys or Jack Frosts or the local creche? We are only looking for childcare in the mornings and possibly 1 full day as we%26#39;ll spend time with him in the afternoons.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi
I have been having the same dilemma regarding childcare and have decided on the creche. My daughter will be 8 months old when we travel, in January, and I just think that she will be bored being looked after by a nanny. She enjoys interaction and being around other kids, so we have plumped for the creche.
I have a friend whose 2 year old daughter loved it and the chalet we are staying with said that they have never had any bad reports - I am quite sure that it is purely subjective though, all depends on your daughter/son and their personality.
If you do opt for the creche you need to book well in advance and by telephone on a Tues or Thurs apparently.
I am sure you will have a lovely time either way.....

Hi, thanks for your response, we have also decided to go with the creche!
I have only heard good things about it and it has just been refurbished. I have also been told that French childcare is very heavily regulated. My son will be going into a nursery for a few days a week from January when I go back to work and already goes to a gym creche once a week and is very happy there!
One thing their website says they have to be innoculated against TB which they do in France but not in the UK so I need to find out if this is an issue. I think i%26#39;ll call them tomorrow.
Have a great holiday!
