For your little ones (3yrs and above) that will be on skis before long, we recommend the ESF Piou Piou (pictured) in Méribel as a crèche.  Not only will they be looked after in a crèche environment indoors, but they will also get a feel for skis out in the snow.  Everything is organised so that skiing is treated as something fun (which off course it is)!  They have a protected area with special equipment including a rope tow, mini-ski tows and moving carpets with male and female instructors to supervise and instruct tiny tots.  Children also receive a Piou Piou Club medal at the end of their stay!
