Centerparcs Europe with kids

b0redom

Hi All,
We went to CenterParcs in the UK just after Christmas with our 2 year old and had a great time. We're thinking of a week or two in a European one, but ideally we'd like to make occasional use of the child care.

Does anyone know if the creches have English speaking staff?

Can anyone recommend a particular resort? We were considering possibly one in Holland.

Cheers.....

We went to De Eemhof last summer and had a brilliant time. I didn't use the creche, but pretty much all of the staff seemed to speak English, so I wouldn't expect the creche staff to be any different.

We flew to Amsterdam, and got the train to De Eemhof. It was really easy to do, and I'd recommend it.

We went to De Vossemeren, it's in Belgium but up near the Dutch border. My kids are older so didn't use the creche but used the kids clubs and the staff all seemed to speak English.

We went to De Kempervennen in Holland last April with Hubby, me and 2 kids (5 and 6mths). We never used the creche but all the staff speak English in the Netherlands.

We had a great time and the kids loved it. Baby enjoyed the swimming pool and the children's farm, eldest enjoyed the skiing. 2 weeks maybe too long at a Centerparcs, though.

Have a great time. sorry I couldn't help with the creche

We went to De Vossemeren in Belgium last summer and had a fantastic time. Kids were kept busy the whole time. We didn't use the creche though as our kids are 7&9 but we did use the kids clubs (where they were left for an hour or so under the supervision of staff). When doing this the staff were quick to establish the different nationalities attending and most staff did speak some English (to varying abilities). Most families there were german or dutch, some from the UK but in the minority.
