Our crèches are open 7 days per week and care for children from 4 months to 3 years. The crèches provide a calm and comforting environment for little ones with soft play as well as more stimulating toys, games and activities for toddlers. Our aim is to ensure that children have the opportunity to play with others their own age with appropriate activities but to also provide the flexibility to allow children to hang out with older siblings if they are more comfortable with this.
Our main crèche is located on-site in a secure walled off section with a large grassy area for children to play safely. During busy periods, we open our second crèche, situated below the Peli Deli, which offers a bright and airy indoor play space and large open garden.
In addition to fun-packed days, evening care and activities are also offered on selected evenings during both low and high season, as well as babysitting.
This is a fantastic opportunity for childcare professionals who are looking for a job they love, in a stunning environment. We need a team who are full of energy, creative and caring and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that our younger guests have an unforgettable holiday.
