Information - Child Care
One of the difficulties often experienced on chalet ski holidays is finding proper and adequate child care facilities. This is particularly the case for young children who are too young for even the kindergarten ski club. Morzine is a very family friendly town in addition to being a first class ski resort, and offers rather better than average options and facilities for child care.
We have listed a selection of the options, covering carers or nannies who go out to guest chalets, through purpose built nurseries to kindergarten ski club.
Cheeky Monkeys Childcare
Cheeky Monkey's Childcare is run by Sharon Turner and her team of qualified nannies. Sharon had provided childcare in Morzine for a number of years prior to Cheeky Monkeys being set up in 2005. Before this she had 10 years of experience in the childcare industry in the UK, America and France. A number of childcare options are available, with an in house nanny service for children from 3 months of age, where the nanny will come to the chalet, and a kids club for over 4 year olds.

Jack Frost's Childcare
Jack Frosts childcare in Morzine is owned and managed by Gill McNeice, a qualified children's nurse who is highly experienced in both hospital and nursery childcare. They have a tried and trusted programme which is run by experienced staff who have been chosen for their enthusiasm and professionalism. They take children from 3 months up to 11 years old, and can arrange for a nanny to come and look after your children at the chalet. Face painting, drawing, snow man building and many other activities keep the kids happy and it is usually the parents who miss the kids rather than the other way round!
