Courchevel day and evening care plus snow ski schools and babysitting.
As much as Courchevel is known for its flashy fashion shops, Michelin-starred restaurants and posh piano bars, this resort is also incredible for families. Tots old enough for ski school (usually 3 years and upwards) can join kindergartens that mix indoor and outdoor play with a gentle introduction to the pistes. ESF have the Piou Piou club and a children’s village, which is a secured area with gentle slopes, fun mascots and attentive instructors. Full and half days can be booked, and meals can be included. There are ESF areas in both 1850 and 1650. New Generation are a British born school who teach children from 4 years old. For younger children and childcare outside of ski areas, there are options from private nannies to in-chalet and in-hotel creches. For quality time together with your youngsters, children have plenty to entertain them on and off the slopes in Courchevel, with the biggest off-slope attraction being the Aquamotion Centre. It has everything from a paddling area to slides and a surfing wave, as well as wellness facilities for parents. Husky rides, toboggan runs and bowling are other amazing activities to enjoy together.

Chances are, helping your small skiers with the holiday homework isn’t as simple as it once was –which is why private tuition exists. Enjoy Education’s award-winning team can send someone to join you for a month or week, with the material for practically any subject – to provide fun supplementary schooling, that will ensure kids are on top of their game on returning to school.

Adapting to your timetable, they provide one-to-one sessions in your chalet, as well as being the kind of inspiration that will encourage kids to sit down and revise when they least want to. Kings Tutors have a fabulous reputation within the industry and their aim to produce excellent tutor-tutee rapport has earned them glowing reviews, successful students and happy parents.
