Children's Clubs - childcare from 6 yrs.
Mark Warner's childcare facilities are second to none and have been an integral part of both the summer and winter holidays for over 15 years now. There is an organised daily programme of activities for the children ensuring that they are kept entertained and occupied throughout their stay. The children's clubs at the Abamar are open all summer until the beginning of September and run 6 days per week from 9am to 5.30pm with a break from 1pm until 3pm when the children rejoin their parents for lunch.
Mark Warner work hand in hand with the UK's leading childcare company, Tinies Childcare to help find and recruit nannies. All nannies are English speaking, the majority with an NNEB, NVQ, Cache Level 3 or equivalent qualifications, and are trained by Mark Warner either in the UK or in resort.
The children spend most of their time outdoors in a shaded garden leading to the children's pool. For hotter days or quieter times, they are looked after in an air-conditioned crèche. Kidz and Juniors have their own 'shack' and watersports area on the beach.
Junior Club (6 years to 9 years) included in holiday cost.
The supervised Junior Club programme includes an introduction to windsurfing, sailing and water-skiing using equipment suitable for junior enthusiasts.
Kidz Club (10 years to 13 years) included in holiday cost.
The Kidz Club has a lively programme of watersports and activities throughout the day, with expert tuition on offer in windsurfing, sailing and water-skiing, six days a week. Children in Kidz Club are slightly more independent than the younger children and therefore can sign themselves in and out of the club.
Indy Club (14 – 17 years) 2 July - 2 September
Indy Club encourages social interaction through beach parties, sailing expeditions and excursions, running alongside the usual action packed programme of sporting activities. The emphasis is less on supervision, more on breaking the ice and creating a great social club for young people.
Child Listening (free of charge)
Guests can relax over dinner with the Mark Warner nannies touring the rooms to check the children.
Baby Sitting
Baby-sitting can be arranged through the Resort Childcare Manager at extra cost.
