Butlins Just For Tots: New Short Break for Families with Little Ones
As you are aware, we are Butlins Ambassadors 2013/2014 and we have recently been to Butlins Bognor Regis for the very first time. The whole family had a great time, and since we got back, little man keeps saying ‘Mummy can we go back to Butlins again please?’
The entertainment at Butlins was fantastic and there was something for everyone, whether you fancy swimming at Splash Waterworld, rides at Sir Billy’s Fairground, live shows at the Skyline Pavillion or Centre Stage.
Butlins, who were recently awarded Gold in the Mumsnet Family Friendly Awards, are now launching a unique short break option, designed exclusively for families with little ones. Launching this April, ‘Just for Tots’ are little breaks with big adventures, where everything from the accommodation and food right through to the entertainment and activities have been designed solely with younger children in mind.
Held during term-time, to ensure families of pre-schoolers can escape the holiday rush, these breaks provide little ones the perfect environment to show Mum and Dad just what they can do.
Stars such as Thomas & Friends™ and Angelina Ballerina™ will be part of a ‘free-to-play’ entertainment schedule where shows are repeated throughout your break with timings to suit early-risers and early bedtimes.
Helping hands are available throughout the resort to ensure parents can spend as much time with their tots as possible – without the usual stresses of a family break. Innovations include:
· Bespoke meals by Annabel Karmel MBE. To ensure parents never have to hear ‘I don’t like it’, one of the UK’s most trusted experts on feeding families, Annabel Karmel works with Butlins on specially-designed nutritious and tasty meals that will go down a treat with everyone.
· ‘Pushchair Porters’. A unique service upon arrival to help parents transport their toddlers and belongings from the car to the room with minimum fuss.
· Photocall ‘Firsts’. Photo opportunities at attractions around the resort where our roving photographers capture the extraordinary moments that parents must not miss, from the biggest smile on the tot’s fairground to when they get up close with their favourite TV heroes
· Nap-time Buggy Walks. Customised quiet route maps to help little ones drift off through the landscaped gardens and out along the beautiful beaches that neighbour our resorts
.’Just for Tots’ has every hour of the day covered, entertaining little ones at every turn:
· Drop-in style activity sessions and shows that are repeated throughout the break – so it doesn’t matter how long your little ones take to get their shoes on or finish their breakfast.
· Butlins will be offering “learn-to sessions” so everyone can see their little ones achieve big things like learning to swim and ride a bike.
· Wake-up activities every morning for early risers and bedtime stories with favourite characters to end the day
· A pool party for pre-schoolers in Splash Waterworld with the big rides switched off and replaced with water toys to create a calmer atmosphere for your ‘water babies’.
· All their favourite TV heroes under one roof to cuddle and watch in specially designed shows that are shorter in length (perfect for easily distracted toddlers)
· Everything happens within walking distance of your accommodation at our family-friendly resorts so you can wave goodbye to car seats and ‘designated drivers’.
The first ‘Just for Tots’ short breaks will take place from April 28th at Butlins Bognor Regis and Skegness, with 4-night Monday to Friday breaks running across all resorts (Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness) until September this year. For more information visit http://www.butlins.com/
