Please help us! We've been on every Simply Travel holiday that does childcare - even been to Crete twice!

We would love to spend the May half-term on a b&b or in a small hotel doing half board, ideally in Cyprus, Spain, Turkey, Sardinia, Sicily - we're not too fussy!

We do need childcare during the day and preferably babysitting facilities in the evening.

Thank you so much for any leads......

Hi

Would 140 rooms in a property be far too large for you? There is a lovely property in Northern Sardinia if that size is suitable. They have a childrens club and babysitting service and has lots of repeat customers. It has a nice homely feel. Excellent facilities for this 5 star resort.Only the more specialist operators feature it. Have a look and see what you think. I will see if there is some smaller properties I can suggest for you in the meantime:

hi
you don't say how old your kids are, but if you wanted to try something totally different to the usual resorts with childcare, check out blacktree farm holiday cottages on our Turkey Aegean Coast page.

it's an organic farm with a pool that doesn't offer formal childcare but does have masses to occupy children if they're of the age where they're happy to play among themselves - a games room, a craft room and pottery, a cushioned room with a video player, rabbits to feed, ponies and donkeys to ride, weekly activities around the pool, tennis courts, mountain bike hire, a library with a telescope... The cottages have kitchenettes but there's an all day restaurant and bar too.
