Families
The building next door to the Chalet Les Cimes Blanches is host to Pepi Penguin Nursery and Beanie Bear Club, which are open to all children staying at the chalet or at certain accommodation in Plagne 1800.

Pepi Penguin Nursery (6 months – 4 years) is run by our UK-qualified childcare staff and held in a dedicated room equipped with games and toys. Outdoor play included (weather and parental consent permitting).

What’s included:

Full day care from 8.30am to 5pm
2-course hot lunch
Snacks and drinks throughout the day
A daily routine and activities report for your child
Activities vary daily. We’ll find time for stories, singing, arts and crafts including painting and collage making, plus messy play in the sand tray and free play with age-relevant toys set out for the children to choose what they want to do.

We’re also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe snowy walks, a gondola ride or snow painting. And if your child is used to a sleep, we’ll factor that in too.

Beanie Bear Club (4-8 years) provides plenty of fun-filled days as our childcare staff offer a combination of care and skiing, which includes 6 x AM ski lessons, pick-up and drop-off from ski lessons, lunch and afternoon care by staff in the dedicated Beanie Bear Club room.

What’s included:
Full day care from 8.30am to 5pm
6 x AM ski lessons, ski school drop-offs and pick-ups*
Child skis, boots and helmet hire
2-course hot lunch
Snacks and drinks throughout the day
* Lift passes aren’t included as each child’s needs are different. If and when your child feels confident enough to use the lifts, you’ll need to buy a lift pass locally.

Activities vary daily – to include games, arts and crafts and storytime – and are often based around a theme.

We’re also really keen to take in some fresh mountain air each day, so we aim to have an outdoor activity at least once a day – maybe bus bingo, snowman competitions or a treasure hunt.

Both Pepi Penguin Nursery and Beanie Bear Club operate for 6 days and must be pre-booked to guarantee a place. Evening clubs are also available to book in resort for an extra charge.

All our staff are UK-qualified, English-speaking and first-aid trained, and have had DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) and reference checks. And we prioritise maintaining the correct adult:child ratios.

Please note, all childcare is an extra charge and must be pre-booked to guarantee a place. In some instances, childcare does not extend the full length of the ski season. Please contact the sales team for additional information.
