Graeme is the man and I think might have come back recently but havn't seen him around on here for a while, I'm sure he will update us when he returns. How old are your children and have they skiid before? i have also heard really good things about Inghams so i'm sure we will be fine. we are going on the 10th march with our 2 girls who are 3 and 5!

It's me again Dawny!

You drop your kids any time after 9 and collect them by 4.30! Everything else is done by the nannies usually 2 with a maximuum of 15 kids.

They walk up to The Albena Ski School to get their ski equipment which is loaded onto a little toboggan type afair and then they head for one of the nursery slopes adjavent to the Rila.

After their mid morning lesson they trog back down the high street to the Ela where they have lunch. Neither of mine commented on lunch so ...

After their mid morning lesson they trog back down the high street to the Ela where they have lunch. Neither of mine commented on lunch so I assume it was ok as they'd have let us know if it was awful - hot things on toast, pizza etc.

After lunch all those who wanted to were taken back onto the slopes for more skiing, buumboarding, snowman building etc. Some of the smaller children stayed behind and watched dvds, painted, slept etc if they were tired. We went half term week and all but 1 of the 15 children skiied in the week and the one that didn't wasn't through want of the nannies trying!

The kids don't use the lifts so don't need lift passes and also under 7. You are free to collect them at anytime during the day should you wish to take them out on your own.

My kids really enjoyed the company of the other children and both loved the nannies and the excellent ski instructors who were so patient. We bought the video that was made by the ski school of the kindergarten. We saw them on several occasions through the week on the slopes and were very impressed with the overall set up. They all looked great with their facees painted skiing down the nursery slopes!

I hope this covers everything.

Hi Dawn
Just returned from Borovets last night. My 5 year old was at the Inghams creche in the Ela. She didn't like like skiing but loved the creche. The girls there were fantastic! You can drop them off from 8.30 and they have to be collected by 4.30. They do an hours skiing in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, the ski equipment is collected from the Hotel Flora which is just up the road. Although my daughter didn't ski with them, she still went out on the slopes and played either ...

They do an hours skiing in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, the ski equipment is collected from the Hotel Flora which is just up the road. Although my daughter didn't ski with them, she still went out on the slopes and played either bumboarding, building snowmen, snowball fights. At the creche there is videos/dvds, drawing, painting, puzzles, jenga, etc. Lunch varied, I know she had spag bol, burger, fishfingers, pizza (but not all at the same time!)
I saw her out on the slopes a few times with the rest of the kindergarton and they all seemed to be really happy and enjoying themselves.
Would definetly use the kindergarton again!
