CHILDCARE There are various private nanny services operating in the resort many of which are English companies with British nannies working in resort. As nanny services are a personal preference between the parents and the nanny, we prefer to leave this service to the childcare professionals and we ll leave you to discuss personally with the nanny services to choose the one you feel is most appropriate for your child. Prices for a full time nanny for a week are approximately 700 to 800 for one child the ratios of children to nannies depend on the age of the children and also the charges made for additional children vary between the companies. Most companies will provide half day care as well but many will only accept full week bookings during the school holidays you ll need to speak to them yourself to work out the best plan. www.zealous.eu Tel: +33 981 98 01 95 info@zealous.eu www.alpine-child-care.co.uk Tel: 07931 967861 office@alpinechildcare.com www.safehandsfrance.com Tel: 07970 909910 safehandsfrance@googlemail.com - 3
