childcare

Being the proud father of a 2 year old monster, has anyone used the creche/kindergarten at the Rila in Borovets? Ski holiday is dependant on getting the little bugger looked after while we ski. Or are there any other options for having him looked after? We own a house near borovets (15kms away) if anyone has any questions about the buying process.
I look forward to hearing your experiences of the childcare facilities, thanks in advance
Kevin Very Happy

Thanks Topper,
Do you think we haven't tried selling him. Left him at the donations box for Banardos but he still came back. This is why I need help, so some proper answers please

re: childcare

We used the Kindergarten provided by Inghams but this is for their customers only and it comes highly recommended. If you do a search on here you will see comments for the Rila kindergarten which were left during last season. As far as I'm aware people are generally satisfied with the service!!

I hope this is helpful

re: childcare

Pete would be the one to answer this, do you need a nanny?

We have used the Rila creche and our little darling is or was at the time a little bit younger. They need to be three before they join the 'Kindergarten' which basically involves a little skiing building snowmen and snowball fights! The creche we found worked quite well, it was a little spartan by nursery standards here, but the ladies working there were very good. One of the main drawbacks is probably when you go, because it was a bit empty at times, and could be a little boring for the ...

re: childcare

Thanks for your help everyone. It was good to hear that Fraser and Sarah would use the facilities again. Because we have a house in the area we could probably take some of his own toys with us. One of the things that concerned me about the Rila and Samokov facilities is that you can't book them in advance. Was this the case when you used them and did it ever pose a problem?
I look forward to hearing from you

re: childcare

From what I've understood previously the only time they tend to be over run with children is at half term and perhaps over the Christmas period. If you live locally and become a regular user you may be able to come to some arrangement whereby you ring before arriving to confirm availability - just a thought.

Unfortunately, Pamporvo Pete, as the name suggests, is an expert on the facilities available in Pamps.

Hope all this helps

re: childcare

We had no problem arranging it when we got there, as everywhere money talks, and i dont know what the maximum is that they can take in the creche but they certainly were not stretched when we went, though ellie could be quite right about half term, we always give that time a miss!!!!!!!!
ps as youve bought locally have you managed to sort out cheap flights? and are you renting the property out, bearing in mind where it is? feel free to converse privately via email if youd rarher, would love ...
