Children's Clubs:
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 Abu Soma are open all year round 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 kids clubs are operated from an air-conditioned childcare centre which has been designed and built to Mark Warner's own specification. There is a children's paddling pool integrated into the main swimming pool and an outdoor children's play area.
Baby Club (6 months to 11 months)
The Baby Club costs £40 per day per infant. This is in addition to the holiday cost.
Babies are looked after by MW nannies with a ratio of one nanny to every two babies, except on rare occasions where illness or unavoidable absences make this impossible.
Toddler Club (1 year to 2 years)
The Toddler Club is split into two groups: Toddler 1 (which is for one year olds) and Toddler 2(which is for two year olds).The Toddler 1 Club costs £35 per day per infant, in addition to the holiday cost. Toddler 2 Club is free.
Ratio of one nanny to every three children in the Toddler 1 Club and one nanny to every four children for children in the Toddler 2 club. The nurseries have lots of room for indoor and outdoor play and plenty of stimulating toys and games. The children also have a quiet time during their day and, needless to say, the nannies are careful to keep them well protected from the sun.
Mini Club (3 years to 5 years)
The Mini Club is included in the holiday cost. Mini Club members are based in in-house crèches, which are well equipped with games, toys and arts and crafts. The children also enjoy nature walks, swimming, paddling, games on the beach as well as trips out on the water. Safety is paramount at all times and there's an excellent ratio of nannies to children. Children can be left in the Mini Club for as long or short a time as required within its opening hours.
Junior Club (6 years to 9 years)
The Junior Club is included in the holiday cost. The supervised Junior Club programme includes an introduction to windsurfing and sailing using equipment suitable for junior enthusiasts. In addition the programme will usually include some of the following:- seashore expeditions, swimming races, volleyball, canoeing and much more. We ask that parents sign their children in and out of the club.
Kidz Club (10 years to 13 years)
The Kidz Club is included in the holiday cost.The Kidz Club has a lively programme of watersports and activities throughout the day, with expert tuition on offer in windsurfing and sailing. Children in the Kidz Club are, at their age, more independent than the younger children and therefore can sign themselves in and out of their club enabling them to join at any time of day. Supervision therefore, is not provided on a constant basis but only when an activity is taking place.
For our younger adults (14 years to 17 years)
The Indy Club has an active programme run throughout the day of both land based activities and watersports. The accent is less on supervision and more on making new friends whilst having fun. Indy club runs on Mark Warner high season dates.
