Crystal has long been recognised as a pioneer in family ski holidays. With your children in our care, you can have the peace of mind to relax and enjoy your days on the slopes. Now in our 16th successful season of providing dedicated family ski holidays, we are pleased to offer:
Our biggest ever range of childcare services
All run by our professional, experienced & friendly English speaking staff, who have all undergone CRB checks
Our crèches & clubs that have been inspected by an external British Health & Safety specialist, where all precautions are taken to ensure that your children are safely cared for
Pepi Penguin Crèche
This is available for children aged 6mths-4yrs and is available in two formats:
Resort crèches: These are available to all our customers staying in that resort on a drop-off and pick-up basis. They are normally based in a dedicated apartment or room set aside all season (the majority have separate play and sleep rooms).
This may normally involve walking or taking a bus or ski lift.
Individual Nanny Chalets & Hotels crèches: Providing Pepi Penguin crèche exclusively to those customers staying at those particular properties. In these properties play areas are normally set up and cleared away each day or provided in a dedicated room within the hotel.
What's included?
At least one English-speaking qualified nanny per crèche (NNEB, BTEC, NVQ or equivalent)
Minimum ratio of one nanny per 3 children under 2 yrs, and one nanny per 4 children if all children are aged 2-4 yrs (please be aware there may not always be two staff present, at all times, but we will always ensure correct adult:child ratios are adhered to)
Pepi Penguin crèche hours are 08.30am-5.00pm 6 days per week. (Times may vary in certain crèches in order to fit in with parents' ski school classes, although the number of hours offered in total will remain the same)
Main crèche area will be equipped with a range of toys, games, puzzles, books & art/craft materials to keep your little ones entertained
Outdoor play & activities (weather & parental consent permitting)
Snacks and drinks included
1 night's free evening crèche which takes place on the Chefs night off for Club Hotel children or babysitting/listening for Chalet children. Both services run from 7.30-10pm & are only available if staying in the actual Pepi Penguin crèche property
All children will receive a special Pepi Penguin gift, during their stay
Pepi Penguin crèches are extremely popular and places are strictly limited. It is essential therefore to secure your child's place at the time of booking. All our crèches/clubs are subject to availability. The crèche operates from the day after arrival, over a 6 day period.
